2016.Book6 - The Authoritarians (Altemeyer)

Very good.

2016.Book5 - The Rising (Tregillis)

Very good. Pretty much non-stop action, a lot better than The Mechanical.

2016.Book4 - The Map of Chaos (Palma)

Very good. Nice conclusion to the series.

2016.Book3 - The Cartel (Winslow)

Very good. Overwhelming violence.

2016.Book2 - Submission (Houellebecq)

Not much to this one.

2016.Book1 - The Mechanical (Tregillis)

Pretty good. Cool ideas. Maybe adding sex and violence for commercial reasons?
