Well, I've now moved back from London to Belfast for an exciting new job, and although I've less free time now, I feel energised enough to try resuming The Review Experiment. Watch this space for more badly written but enthusiastic reviews. ]]> Sun, 29 May 2005 21:28:42 +0100 http://www.dkennedy.org/C2025243227/E1343345671/index.html http://www.dkennedy.org/C2025243227/E1232734459/index.html

Now and again you have to break out of your normal reading and try something new at random - usually this results in reading crap so that you can justify sticking to recommendations from tried and test sources, but now and again you get a treat like this. A solid character driven standalone SF adventure. Aliens, marines with big guns, aliens with bigger guns, religious fundamentalism, more aliens, stupid scientists, evuuul corporations. And a cop. Trust me, better than it sounds. ]]> Fri, 06 Aug 2004 01:42:53 +0100 http://www.dkennedy.org/C2025243227/E1232734459/index.html http://www.dkennedy.org/C2025243227/E120497616/index.html

A limited edition novella from a small press, by one of Commercial Fantasy's most bankable authors. Cost per printed page to me? Far too high! ]]> Thu, 05 Aug 2004 21:37:58 +0100 http://www.dkennedy.org/C2025243227/E120497616/index.html http://www.dkennedy.org/C2025243227/E1026173805/index.html

Fantastic, another one for my Top 5 Novels of 2004. In the author's words, this is "a British spy thriller in the tradition of Len Deighton [...] that Neal Stephenson might have written to an outline by H. P. Lovecraft." If you liked Tim Power's Declare and understand why departmental software licensing audits are usually ridiculous, then this will be right up your street. ]]> Sun, 01 Aug 2004 20:17:56 +0100 http://www.dkennedy.org/C2025243227/E1026173805/index.html http://www.dkennedy.org/C2025243227/E1510609935/index.html

Guess what this is about? Lavishly illustrated, this book from the Victoria & Albert Museum reminds me that I've not been there for years, but that maybe I'll get a lot more out of certain exhibits on my next visit. ]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2004 05:52:22 +0100 http://www.dkennedy.org/C2025243227/E1510609935/index.html
