Proxima by Stephen Baxter, when I finished it I realized it was part of a series, the next one 'Ultima'.

"The Defender" (Det kan vi stå för) by Geir Lippestad, the defense lawyer of Anders Behring Breivik, who confessed to shooting 69 people dead at the Utoya Island youth camp and killed eight further people in central Oslo.
"...In the most wonderful way, Lippestad succeeds in planting the flag of principle and at the same time delve into the details of a case which can make any principle shake. But Lippestad’s hand remains steady. The way he includes himself, his life, his challenges at home in his work, gives a perfect insight into his handling of the Breivik defense..."

Originally posted by SuzianneHaven't seen that one. I'll put it on my list. Right now, finished 'The Martian' Andy Weir and now halfway through Modessit, "The eternity artifact', from 2005 but it had remained hidden in my attic till I rummaged through my junk there and found it unread. I can tell if I had read it by the smoothness of the binder, if I read it, the binder gets crinkled.

So now I have to find out if the artifact book is part of a series🙂
