My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I don't like this series anywhere near as much as I should. I like a good cozy mystery, I love stories about computers, robots, A.I and science fiction and this second novel in the series continues to disappoint me. The A.I. acts more like a little old lady, then the actual mature woman "Maud" who efficiently runs two offices, is a crack shot and the smartest of all the characters. Tim the dim witted P.I. is ok for laughs but worked better as the smitten copy boy in the first novel. I don't think I'll be reading anymore of this series.

Predator (Isaac Asimov's Robots in Time, #1)

Predator by William F. Wu

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I may have really enjoyed this book if I had read it when I was 11 or 12, but I still think that the illogical behavior of the main characters would have driven me nuts. For one example early on in the time travel portion of the book the team is afraid of altering the present by such actions as killing vines, breaking branches to mark a trail later in the novel with no regard for the repercussions they start a dinosaur stampede.

The reason I think a younger reader may enjoy it is as a kid I really enjoyed Cowboy in Africa, and the roping and riding of dinosaurs reminded me of it.
