review 1: “Ballistic” by Sarah Monette, Emma Bull, Elizabeth Bear & Amanda DownumVery solid, although I would have preferred a different ending. “Endgames” by Emma Bull“Overkill” by Elizabeth BearI find Sol a difficult character to get a grip on, but he does liven up the dialog.Sol: "My sister. A fearsome creature: an ordained minister of the Universal Life Church and fifth-grade teacher. Who also runs the local gifted-and-talented program, can kick-start a '67 Harley-Davidson XLH Sportster, and refuses to marry on the grounds that matrimony is a tool of the patriarchy. That's her story and she's sticking to it, anyway, although I suspect her continued single state has more to do with a refusal to choose between the devoted gentleman caller she's been entertaining since ... more1983 and her 'best friend,' a lovely academic poet at the University of Indiana, Bloomington, who also happens to have limpid brown eyes of the first water and write lesbian erotic poetry that's been published in thirteen languages, two of them English." Chaz: "You're totally making at least half of that up." Sol: "Believe what you like. It's the Midwest. People can fail to see just about anything if you give them half a chance to ignore it."
review 2: More of the team working together, more discovery of who they are as individuals. Also more about the world of Shadow Unit - its lot like this one with a slight twist. The team seeks out crimes that indicate the presence of the anomaly - and here I'm a bit vague...its been the weakest part of the story for me but I like the people so much I am completely fine with ignoring that. The crimes can be pretty awful - don't think that the absence of a camera makes descriptions less graphic. It is, after all, what these writers do - and they do it well. Still no sense of which actors are slated to play the parts and that pleases me immensely. less
