It's subtitled The Postutopian Adventures of Darger and Surplus, and it's a sequel of sorts to three award-winning short stories by Swanwick; the two characters are con men making their way through a future where AI rebelled against humanity, was destroyed, and still plots revenge. It's definitely a colourful novel, and Moscow itself is a huge part of this storyline.

A fantastic sense of place, but not quite as compelling a book as The Winter Sea.

This a fun memoir by Hauer, mostly about movies and all the fun he has had over the years on movie sets around the world. I liked the material about his childhood in the Netherlands, and his early acting days up to his two Verhoeven-related breakthroughs, Floris and Turkish Delight. A couple of chapters are devoted to Blade Runner, which Hauer considers his best role.

Walsingham is a fascinating figure too. A fair amount of detail about various European locations, but the main focus ends up being London and Paris (they are the only two cities in the book to get their own maps), with some attention to Spain.

Lots of activity on the moon in this book, and the majority of the rest of the action takes place in North Carolina. The aliens add a shroud of sorts that covers the entire Earth, leading to 24/7 darkness, and some very Stephen King-esque sequences (there's even a bit with some people stuck in a car and a wi Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:00:00 -0800 http://www.bibliotravel.com/books.php?book=4084 http://www.bibliotravel.com/books.php?book=4084This book was originally titled Rivers of London, and that's probably a better title since this urban fantasy deals a lot with the idea of genius loci (spirit of the place). Peter Grant is a copper in London, and gets mixed up in lots of magical investigations. The story is heavily influenced by police procedurals on TV, so it's easy to read really quickly, but seems a bit too familiar. But Aaronovitch pours on the London-related details - there's not really a book I've read that's so saturated Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:00:00 -0800 http://www.bibliotravel.com/books.php?book=4082 http://www.bibliotravel.com/books.php?book=4082Modestly, I am the author of this book of poems and songs in Scottish Gaelic (with one Irish poem and some translations from English)! The book was well-received by some commentators/reviewers, although a measure of editorial neglect has rendered some of its content rather disappointingly erroneous. However, writer Myles M. Campbell and Prof. Donald Meek praised my efforts - I am an accomplished Gaelic learner and have been heartened by their kind assistance. The poems cover a period rough Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:00:00 -0800 http://www.bibliotravel.com/books.php?book=4080 http://www.bibliotravel.com/books.php?book=4080Autobiographical novel in which Brazilian author and self styled wizard travels deserts of SW US seeking his guardian angel and hanging out with new age cow girls.
