I haven't read anything for what seems like a long time - I've been snowed under with publishing stuff and the day job, but I'll be starting a reading binge in the next week or two, and I've got a quite a long list to read.
Finished Smiley's People. Now trying to decide if I should buy Legacy of Spies
I loved the Smiley books (I'll be starting them from the beginning again shortly) and I can't remember if
Legacy of Spies is part of that, but I've found that Le Carre's work outside of the Smiley books has been a bit hit and miss over the years. Some are every bit as good, I think, while others don't quite match the brilliance of those books - still very good, but not
as good.
Also am about halfway through Adam Hall's "Quiller's Run", book twelve in the series.
I remember bits and pieces from the series (mostly the ending of the final book
) but I'll be going back to
Memorandum to read through them all again - it's about 20+ years since I read them as a teen.
Started reading (actually nearly finished with) Angel's Deceit by our own A.J. Grimmelhaus. (This is a first for me. I'm reading book 2 of what is largely a Fantasy, but has some S.F. in the mix.)
I finished Angel's Deceit by A.J. Grimmelhaus. This is the second in book in the Angel War Trilogy. This is another good fantasy/S.F. book. It really is hard to tell. What magic there is, is in actuality high science. But the tone and the action of the book leave decidedly in the Fantasy realm
That's a great way of describing the series, Parson - much better than my clumsy attempts to explain it thus far. I might borrow your explanation next time someone asks me about it.
But the writing was top notch, and I'm left still wondering how it's all going to work out, so book three is likely in my future. I am hopeful that it will be more to my liking.
I hope you like the third one too, Parson - it's a different type of story again and feedback so far has been that it's the best of the trilogy - I'd be interested to know what you think after reading it, and how it compares to books 1 and 2 in terms of
how heroes win in terms of honesty etc.
The kindle's out on Monday 16th, and from the 17th it'll be free for a few days.
I hope you enjoy it.
Currently on Angel's Truth by some fellow called Grimmelhaus
I've heard he's a cad and a bounder. Very shady chap.
About three-quarters into Angel's Truth. It's really rather good.
Glad you're enjoying it, Thad.
