Hard Carry: A Fast Paced and Darkly Funny Sci Fi Thriller (Neu Berlin Arc)
by J.S. Holloway (Goodreads Author) |

| Hard Carry has propelled JS Holloway into a definite auto-pick author. This book ticked all my boxes for a perfect read. Fast-paced, great characters, excellent plot and it dragged me through the world of Neu-Berlin at a rate that kept me flicking th ...more | |
