19. Learning to Fly Alien Spacecraft

by Fay Abernethy. It's the second in the Shantivira series, which began with The Cleaner, The Cat, and the Space Station. Delightful SFF, slightly on the YA side, just what's needed in this heat.
Last week it was The Tempest, by Charlotte Hawkins. This was apparently based on the BBC Robin Hood series, which I haven't seen, and took the series' villain Sir Guy of Gisborne, and turned him into a brooding hero. I realized, when I had got into it a bit, that this was exactly the sort of bodice-ripper that we used to pass around when I was in nursing school as a relief from the stress of it all. However, this was well-written and enjoyable of the sort, despite its historical inaccuracies, so all in all a fun read.
