Aftershock di Peter Corris

As a fan of the Cliff Hardy series, this is another typical, fine edition but with little to distinguish it from many of the others. That is not a negative comment, but rather a note as to the continuing high quality of the series.

Exactly what you want to read at the beach, during your Xmas/New year break, which is where I read it.
