The Nemesis List by R.J. Frith
(published by Tor, 2010, HB, £16.99, out now – PB released November 2011)
Spaceship captain Frank Pak is hired to recapture young fugitive Jeven
Jones. The job is complicated by Jones’s past as an experimental subject,
and his present as a revolutionary pawn. This action-packed space opera kept
me hooked until about three-quarters through, when I realised that I’d have
to wait for a sequel for any resolution.
