Company Town, by Madeline Ashby, is a very nice SF novel. The main character is Hwa, which starts as a bodyguard for sex workers in an oil rig in the future, in the Canada coast. I enjoyed the action, and particularly the pacing and the tech used throughout the novel. Overall, recommended.

War Factory - by Neal Asher - is the second book in the Transformation trilogy, which takes part on the Polity. I liked the first book in the series - Dark Intelligence (as well as all that take place in the Polity universe) and War Factory too. Sverl troubles continue to mount, and Penny Royal is still creating a lot of chaos in its machinations. Overall, pretty good, although I liked Dark Intelligence better, I'm not sure why.
