Alex Verus is part of a world hidden in plain sight, running a magic shop in London. And while Alex's own powers aren't as showy as some mages, he does have the advantage of foreseeing the possible future-allowing him to pull off operations that have a million-to-one-chance of success. But when Alex is approached by multiple factions to crack open a relic from a long-ago mage war, he knows that whatever's inside must be beyond powerful.

All Systems Red is the tense first science fiction adventure novella in Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries. For fans of Westworld, Ex Machina, Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series, or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. The main character is a deadly security droid that has bucked its restrictive programming and is balanced between contemplative self-discovery and an idle instinct to kill all humans.

Fascinating Snippets, laced with Humour & History
These short stories are not just Peter Grant, but also other characters from the range of the Rivers of London books. Strongly recommend you read at least the first in the series to make sense of the wonderful, bizarre and occasionally thought provoking stories.
I am a fast reader but some of the tales, such as "the Loneliness of the Long Distance Granny" - I found I had to pause as I needed to contemplate the story that will keep happening after the short had concluded, truly a case of less writing created more of a story. Whereas Venessa Summer's list made me chuckle at the conclusion, and the Moments were just focussed junctures - all very satisfying. BTW: I so needed to know what happened to the River Lugg, and that was one very pleasing story to read.
As a fan of the series I found it added to the background to have the intros by the author, explaining why one is set in Waterstones or another in a specific part of London.
If you like the Rivers of London series (and I do, totally) then this book of stories will be a joy.
Narrators: there was a mix. Enjoyable to hear the author, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith is as ever amazing, but also really enjoyed Alex Kingston's Germanic narration (although I found I had to slow her down a notch), and the narrator for Abigail's story was excellent.

Another exceptional performance.
Ben Aaronovitch has succeeded again. The Peter Grant novels are a joy to read and/or hear. Ben Aaronovitch has clearly put a great deal of effort and patience into creating an enjoyable and believable world. His characters all have the semblance of an inner life that has the potential to surprise with each new addition to the series. The snippets and back stories collected here offer brief but satisfying views of the periphery life surrounding Peter Grant and Thomas Nightingale.
As always, but certainly worth mentioning each time, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith delivers a riveting performance. Each of his characters have a distinct vocal quality that propels the story, and deepens the audiences appreciation. For instance; I could not imagine any other voice Alexander Seawolves, or Beverly Brook for that matter. An excellent team. Well done.
