Nights Dawn Trilogy

Just starting book 3 of what has to be the largest trilogy I've ever encountered.

I'd read book 1 before but never found the inclination to read the other 2. I don't know why as I enjoyed the first one. I decided that this time I'd read them all back to back. It's hard to watch all the other books on my TBR pile just sit there but if I don't read these now, I'm not sure how long it'll be till I get round to them again.

Birmo Does it Again

Just finished John Birmingham's latest. "Without Warning"

Fuck that was good! Really Really good!

Got a long, long wait till book 2. Bollox!

After Biohell

Couldn't wait to get into the second book of Taylor Anderson's "Destroyermen" series. "Crusade"

I haven't read too many "Parallel World" books since William Forstchen's "Lost Regiment" books some years ago. Not sure why, as I love them. Taylor Anderson is particularly good at this sub-genre.  I love the friendly natives of the "Other Earth" The baddies are top drawer aswell.

All in all, 10 out of 10.

Biohell

I managed 277 of the 651 pages, then I just had to read a proper book.

Sorry Biohell/Andy Remic. It's like a book version of a "Scary Movie" type parody, only without the large cast and multiple story threads, oh and the laughs. I didn't dislike it, but I just wasn't getting any satisfaction from reading it. I will finish it, in small doses. Over a very long time.
