\nA great looking coffee table book about one of the most important Dutch comics magazines ever published.\n<\/p>\n
\nA reread of a childhood favourite. Not a success I’m afraid.\n<\/p>\n
\nRecommended by Alex<\/a>, this is the story of the airliner that landed on the Hudson back in 2009 and how it was able to do it.\n<\/p>\n
\nThis is basically superhero fanfiction as done by a professional writer. Available for free online<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
\nHard science fiction adventure in which luck plays a large, quantum mechanical role.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe second book in this series takes a darker turn, as McGuire works out the consequences of the world she has build.\n<\/p>\n
\nInteresting fantasy novel from a writer who takes her inspiration from “George R. R. Martin and Finnish metal”. May actually be slightly subversive.\n<\/p>\n
\nA very readable account of the Profumo affair by somebody not hesitant to judge the various participants in it and who is somewhat sympathetic to the alleged villains of the affair.\n<\/p>\n
