Short and Sweet Book Reviews # 224 - One Way by S.J. Morden, The Sixth Day by Catherine Coulter and J.T. Ellison

One Way by S.J. Morden
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Frank Kittridge is given a way out of his life sentence. He can go to Mars as part of a construction crew made up of other convicts. Seems a great choice but: 1. it is a one way journey; 2. Using convicts is a way to cut costs; 3. Once the job is done they are no longer needed and 4. Accidents just keep happening. I liked the premise but knew from the first who was guilty and how he covered his tracks. I found that the bo0k dragged along until the finish - a finish that only set up the next book in the series. I will continue the series just to see what happens to Frank. I do think fans of the Martian would like this as it has some of the same problems that need to be solved.

The Sixth Day by Catherine Coulter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the fifth book in the series but worked OK for me as a stand alone. The characters were interesting. For me there was not that much in the plot. Told from various character's point of view there was little mystery left. The story did move along and I found that the use of the Dracula trope did give some interesting history. All in all an average read.
