panEach chapter is a vignette of a staff member or a guest aboard a luxury spaceship hotel. So many characters to keep up with and really, not much happens. This is more character driven and I prefer plot driven! I‘m not really sure what the author was trying to say or what the point was.

Mission THAW is a Cold War feminist spy thriller based on true facts. It is set in the last two and a half years of the Cold War. The protagonist, a CIA agent, is unique not only because she is a woman, but also because her cover is an opera singer.

pickAfter a pre-Christmas trip to London, staying with her sister, and Christmas itself, Sophronia and friends return to the school for the New Year Tea only to find that it has been infiltrated by Picklemen.
A satisfactory wrap-up to the series with quite a few surprises on the way.
pickEngland is in the brink of WWI and the Prime Minister, who is in his 60s, is completely besotted with Venetia, a girl in her 20s. He writes to her obsessively - and his correspondence included in the novel is historically accurate- to the point that it interferes with both national security and his ability to do his job. A fascinating read.
pickI loved this 1958 satire poking fun at the British Secret Services.

pickSiddheag receives distressing news about her pack and Sophronia and the other girls put their training into practice to help her and incidentally foil the latest plot of the Picklemen.
It's been 3 years or more since I read the previous installments so I was a bit hazy on the details of what had happened. Fortunately there is fan wiki to remind me who was who. Great fun.
