Dexter by Design, by Jeff Lindsay, is the 4th in the Dexter series. It was pretty good, and it was the better one in the series for me so far. The one point that felt strange was the whole Cuban expedition, due to the way it developed. The ending was cute enough, but the amount of setup for a null consequence part of the story seemed excessive.

Some Golden Harbor, by David Drake, was the previous book to my preview post, When the Tide Rises. I've read it quite a while ago, but didn't get around to posting here. It was pretty good, mostly due to the crazy, commando-like stunts of the captain. The hacker/assassin is quite interesting. Of course, the hacking is all off-scene - the one time they mentioned a method that I can recall, the vulnerability involved leaving a session logged - which seems a bit forced since it'd happen all the time given the importance of universe jumping...
