Status Updates From The Trials (The Red Trilogy...

A "dragon's lair" - a tiny dwelling in Earth's orbit - feels like a much more possible near(ish)-term space stunt for an attention-hungry billionaire than Mars, or even the moon.

Heading into the last lap, after what feels like a very long time. The body count increases. I hope that Jaynie and Delphi at least, make it to the next book.

I left Shelley and co. in the middle of an operation over a week ago, and am only now getting back to them after a half-dozen side tracks. I'm interested enough in the overall outcome to finish it up, though!

This court-martial trial has a bit too much violence surrounding it for my liking, but maybe such gimmicks are necessary if a book's to be called a "thriller."

There's plot summary from the first book along with the setup for this second one, and that's helped a lot, since it's been quite a while since I read First Light (2015). I remember none of the characters aside from our MC, for one thing.

I just cannot get into this novel. I can only get about 10-20 pages at a time.

The whole Shiloh thing so far is infuriating and moronic. I’m so frustrated with this book. I’m so fucking tired of protagonists cooperating and working with their torturers.

This organization is ludicrous! It all feels so fake. Jaynie is a special case. My dislike for her knows no bounds.

Oh my, how do you spell “tedious” again? The trial is dull! Can we go back to the meticulous description of every room and corridor please!

Shoot, I forgot how much I disliked book 1. This will be painful
