It's actually quite a good book in it's own right, this.

I'm also reading Private Eye, Retro Gamer, Gamesmaster, and Sci-Fi Now (which is a bit pants and won't be purchased again).

Make Me. Pretty rubbish for a Reacher story. Very short too. I didn't enjoy Personal either.

Just bought Passenger 23 from Sebastian Fitzek, it has received good reviews so far and Audible have turned it into an audio play.

Sounds very interesting from the write-up, but I'm 3/4 of the way through the first of the Millenium Trilogy, yet again...

Has become formulaic, do you blame him…

I worked my way through the lot, pretty much as you did, reading Personal when it came out last year. I will read Make Me, but probably when it appears in the charity shops.
There was a really good second hand and exchange bookshop near me but its now a charity shop. That business rate thing is killing niche markets now. Who ever thought books would be niche? Incidentally our local Library is a sad, sad thing.

Have just finished it and I thought it was a step in the right direction and a great improvement on the last few books. At least it feels like a proper Reacher story!

First 3 'Thursday Next' books by Jasper Fforde - The Eyre Affair, Lost in a Good Book & The Well of Lost Plots. I'm really enjoying them, they are very 'literary' and well written, with humour and really decent characters. I'm very much looking forward to payday when I shall be downloading 'Something Rotten' which is the next in the series.

I really liked the series - I am sure I missed some the literary humour


Currently reading some space pulp by Jack Campbell - the Lost fleet series - managed to get them second hand so not too expensive

I'm regressing and reading a 'young adult' series about werewolves.

Thoroughly enjoying it but then I love anything to do with vampires or werewolves apart from that stupid Twighlight series

Predator: Incursion - 30 pages in, good so far. All the familiar tropes, but not used in a way that's too obvious. The 'Predator' bit is also a little misleading as it's very much 'wider Fox universe'...

It was very good, if a little harrowing. The premise is that every year 23 passengers disappear without trace from on board cruise ships. The question is, what happens to them?

Jumping from a ship is a quick way to die, if you jump from the upper decks, the impact with the water will probably kill you, break some bones and / or knock you unconscious and there is no mess for friends, family or emergency services to deal with.

But are they all suicides?

A policeman lost his wife and son as "passenger 23s", whilst he was working undercover in a Polish prison. Years later, he receives a mysterious phone call. An old woman says that a Passenger 23 has re-appeared on the ship where she lives and that she had the little teddybear that belonged to the policeman's son.

What happened? Is his son still alive? Why won't the little girl speak? Where is her mother, who disappeared with her? A nerve tingling race against time.

Brian May's compilation of his stereo photos from his Queen days.

Keep getting distracted as ever, but every chapter in this book jumps to one character. I mean it even names them in a big font and gives you the date. This is becoming supremely annoying cos it's close to feeling like you're starting the book over and over again (you eventually get back to characters from the beginning of the story). The author's other books aren't like this, and it doesn't bode well for his trilogy which already has covers advertised on this one. Which is obviously what this is all about.
