Write Up Of Books House of Shards (Maijstral #2)

One of my top ten sci-fi books, it's inventive, funny, charming, and a great hoot to read. Having finally read the whole series, this is still my fav of the bunch but the series as a whole is fun and satisfying. Wish WJW had written more books in this style.

Far future SF set in a decadent society. Maijstral is an Allowed Burglar. In this, book two, he's pitted against Fu George the top-ranked burglar and Mr. Sun the overzealous head of security on a fabulous asteroid resort. Hijinks ensue. A fun heist.

Amusing book. I really like Roman, wish there was more of him.

Great fun!Great fun! I've just finished the second of this three book series, and have greatly enjoyed the plot arch so far. Can't wait to see if my assumptions on the final resolution are correct

Walter Jon Williams has published twenty novels and short fiction collections. Most are science fiction or fantasy -Hardwired, Voice of the Whirlwind, Aristoi, Metropolitan, City on Fire to name just a few - a few are historical adventures, and the most recent, The Rift, is a disaster novel in which "I just basically pound a part of the planet down to bedrock." And that's just the openingThis is my favorite of the three Maijstral books. It's a crime caper set on a space station with a definite Douglas Adams/Doctor Who flare. The characters are all larger-than-life personages like a good Agatha Christie puzzler. It never gets overly silly, and it kept me turning pages compulsively all the way through.



I like W. J. Williams' work in general, but Drake Majistral does not do it for me. You cannot transplant Bertie Wooster to be a Space-Opera Jewel Thief. Well, maybe you can, but it sets my teeth on edge. I didn't finish it. You might like it. Sorry, Walter!
