Book Review: The Blackmail Job

Title: The Blackmail Job 

Author: Shane Shepherd 

Date: 2022 

Quote: "I should be able to return any time I like, but I am a criminal..." 

Jason Rokku participated in a war crime and now has to live with the status of a criminal in a fictional society that has interplanetary travel, yet has still managed to preserve classic desktop computers. It's hard not to sympathize with such a world. In this short "prequel," Rokku meets the people for whom he'll be working in longer stories while securing a video that can be used to destroy a man's political career. 

I feel able to live without the rest of the series after reading this book, but if you like science fiction with spies in it, you might not.
