Andy Pond is finished with The City of Mirrors (The Passage, #3)
i had to go back to the first book , but it was totally worth it . These three books are great--as good as Stephen King at his best ....and more scifi than horror . GREAT !!!

Andy Pond is finished with The Invaders: How Humans and Their Dogs Drove Neanderthals to Extinction
The hypothesis of this interesting book is that it was our (premodern humans) alliance with newly domesticated dogs that finally pushed Neanderthals to extinction. Fairly technical discussion of tbe genetic and paleographic evidence…but presented in a way that's accessible. Worth your time if you (like me) geek out on evolutionary and anthropological discussion!

so far an interesting take on why Neanderthals didn't survive contact with early modern humans

Andy Pond is finished with Slow Bullets
short sci-fi novel (novella?) that at first seemed TOO short On reflection it actually was a throwback to when scifi was less "epic" and more about a tight and foused narrative
