The Maker of Widowmakers' Arm: Ptolemy Lane Tales, #3

By Cameron Cooper

Ptolemy Lane faces two problems.

A severed arm found on the roof of the highest building in Georgina's Town sends Ptolemy Lane on the hunt for the rest of the body.  It neatly distracts him from the fact that Diya Sandor, former ship captain and new town resident, has left him.

But when both issues intersect, the fallout can't be ignored.

The Maker of Widowmakers' Arm is the third Ptolemy Lane space opera science fiction story by award-winning SF author Cameron Cooper.

Praise for The Maker of Widowmakers' Arm:

Ptolemy discovers he cared for someone who has left him; it saddened me but made him feel a little more human and less cold to me.

We learn more about this domed city and its citizens in this great world-building Space Opera series.

I've grown to like and empathise with Ptolemy Jovan Lane even more with each novel in the series as we get to know him.

How well Cameron Cooper has packed so many components into such a small slice of Jovan's life.

Lane is utterly complex and leaves the reader wanting more.

What a gruesome find. Amazing how something so small and gruesome can lead to so much information. Ptolemy gets right on track quickly

99 is the character that I hope to see more of, he could turn out to be my favorite supporting character. A nice addition to this series.

I love the detail in the story that sets the stage for interactions and action. For example, the visit to the food facility.

This is such a clever story! Its great lead character is intriguing and enigmatic, and his supporting cast just add to it. The plot is clever and kept me guessing right through to the end. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
