No Defense – Kate Wilhelm – Rescued from the Giveaway Pile!
Let’s Start A New Series – No Defense – Kate Wilhelm (Barbara Holloway # 5)
This afternoon I finished No Defense by Kate Wilhelm. It is the 54th book I have read in 2018. And how I came to read it is a little different. A few weeks ago I came home with nine books from the used book sale at the library. Typically, when I do this my wife says “ that’s ok but now you need to get rid of nine books”. And I usually say “ yeah right!” Which of course means no way! This time though, I thought maybe I should whittle down my to be read shelves of books. So I went through my paperbacks and came up with nine books to donate to the library for their next book sale. No Defense was one of the books I tossed in the box. Anyway, the other night I looked over those books and pulled out No Defense to read figuring who knows maybe I’ll enjoy it! And enjoy it I did! No Defense is book 5 in the Barbara Holloway series by Kate Wilhelm. It is the first book I have ever read in the series. It is also the first book I ever read penned by Ms. Wilhelm. From Goodreads….
