Book of the Week: The Evolutionary Void.

Possibly I shouldn’t encourage Peter Hamilton by picking a book like The Evolutionary Void as Book of the Week – it’s not exactly encouraging him to stop writing 700+ page hard SF books only once a year – but he’s demonstrated a slightly distressing ability to get away with it. Such is life.

Adieu, I Shall Wear Midnight. It was fun.

Book of the Week: I Shall Wear Midnight.

Well, I could go on and on about how I Shall Wear Midnight is Terry Pratchett’s latest Tiffany Aching book (which means that it’s a Discworld Young Adult book that adults can read without shame), but I think that I’d rather scream “NAC MAC FEEGLE!” and go rush the bigjobs. As the Nac Mac Feegle themselves would tell you, that’s more fun anyway.

Ach, read the bluidy series, ye hulking lowland git.

And so, farewell to Tongues of Serpents.

Book of the Week: Out of the Dark.

Out of the Dark won’t be out for a couple of months, but it looks promising: alien invasion meets… well, it’s the Balkans and the word ‘predators’ is used, so we can just assume vampires/werewolves. Yeah, yeah, I’m a sucker for that sort of thing – but it’s David Weber, so there.

And we say Dasvidania to Android Karenina.

Book of the Week: Small Gods.

An older book in the Discworld series, and some might look at it oddly – but Small Gods was I think the first book of the series where Terry Pratchett really buckled down to the world as a unique place in its own right, as opposed to a convenient place to tell stories.

Or something.

Anyway, farewell to Sh*t My Dad Says. Yes, I know: whipsawing again.
