New Book Review: Discovering Your Neighbor

This is not the review that was scheduled to appear here this morning. I don't know what happened to that review. Maybe I'll find it, maybe not. Here's another review.

Title: Discovering Your Neighbor

Author: Shane Shepherd

Date: 2021

Quote: "'He doesn't even know me!' Win exclaimed... 'All the more reaosn for you not to get on his bad side.'"

Win, a young scientist, has discovered evidence that the planet Neighbor was once the home of intellgent life. He's more interested in that life than in stripping the planet of its mineral resources. That is why his boss dislikes him. How dangerous is the boss's ill will, and how can Win protect himself, as he discovers that (gasp!) his government job amounts to his being used for the benefit of a private company? 

What came in the Booktober Blitz was a few chapters of the actual book, Volume 1 of 6 in a "boxed set" of e-books. The thinking is that reading the first three chapters of a book will make people want to pay for the whole thing. The thinking is inaccurate in my case. 

If you can still relate to the plight of a young man who's never thought about big government projects being funded by and for private enterprise, you might want to buy this series.
