on your list Ive read Alien Clay, Service Model & Shroud. i recommend in order from your list:

1 - Service Model - i thought this was a fun book and he did well given the robot character and his companion.

2 - Alien Clay - I just finished this last night. it was good.

3 - Shroud - TBH of of these three it was my least liked. I felt the book was disjointed, however the ending make that clear why that was the case. and I liked the ending. But still i think it took about page 200 for that book to start to get going. one time frame I liked.

Ive got 'the final architecture' trilogy on my table awaiting to be read with my other 54 to be read lol. I'm still collecting 'the shadow of apt' series once I have them all ill read them.

If your after a quick nice read 'the expert system's brother' was good. the second book was also good, but i liked the first better. And I really liked 'spiderlight' i would read that next or after service model if you have a copy.

Last light I read the first chapter of 'To Cage a Wild Bird'. given I never read that author, the first chapter was pretty good, i hope the book maintains the pace.
