Not quite finished

_45156029_stig_pa3picgall I'm still wading through the first of my new reads from last week - not because they are hard to read, but because I'm getting organized for a wargame orgy on Saturday. A full day of blowing things up and dealing with bad guys - great! So...book reviews when I can. On the TV front, there were some awards given out in the UK yesterday on the National TV Awards. For the fourth year running Doctor Who has taken an award and, although this is a reason to celebrate, there was a down side. Yes, it's confirmed, David Tennant will be stepping down after his Christmas Special and the 4 programmes next year. 2010 will see a brand new Doctor and, I suppose, a new companion. His shoes will be hard to fill as David has been the most popular Doctor ever - I'll really miss him. On a lighter note, Top Gear won another award and they made the mistake of letting the Stig collect the award - so, no speech then. Hmmm...Halloween tomorrow. I'll be hiding so don't bother looking for me.

Laurence Cutner on books


  • Laurence feels that the genres of alternative history, sci-fi and fantasy have been ignored for too long. It’s time to lift the stones and rotting wood and let the sun shine in. This will be an adventure in time and space that we all can share. From Asimov to Turtledove and Rowling to Tolkien, this will be one heck of a ride. Strap yourselves in and start your rocket boosters. We are going to meet characters, both old and new, with, I hope, some surprises. Remember to also dodge the bullets; the odd military adventure will also come barreling along.

Comment Guidelines

  • We welcome comments but we ask that you observe our guidelines. We like readers who are prepared to stand by their comments by offering their 'real' first and last name - it adds validity to your comments. Stick to the topic and keep it clean. Personal attacks on individuals, bad language and unsubstantiated rumours have no place here. It's OK to be edgy, but if you're going to engage in name-calling and boorish behaviour take it elsewhere in cyberspace. And forget about posting under multiple IDs from the same IP address -- you'll get banned. Full Guidelines.
