The other week I read "Recursion" by Tony Ballantyne. All I can really say is that I finished it. Oh and that I'm f*cked if I can imagine why second hand copies are going for £38 on Amazon. I mean WTF? It's a poxy paperback.

Next up was the excellent "The Strain" by Guillermo Del Tore & Chuck Hogan. I enjoyed it very much. Some nice new takes on the "Vampire Mythos" and some cliched reactions to dealing with the threat, but done in a self aware manner. So more than bearable and in some cases pretty funny. Apparently Del Toro is after making the TV series as opposed to the movie/s. I think he's right, given the right studio, this would make a bloody good grownup orientated series. I will definitely be pre-ordering the next 2 books, especially if Amazon keep up their pricing. I only paid £5.84 for the hardback.
