Another lot of book reviews, this time focused on science-fiction novels:
– Revelation Space by Alastair Reynolds
– Great North Road by Peter F. Hamilton
– Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks

I enjoyed all of the novels for a variety of reasons, each having a gripping plot and a great setting.
– Revelation Space may appeal to those who prefer hard sci-fi.
– Great North Road may be for those who prefer longer novels with intricate plot, or for those readers who want a stand-alone novel.
– Consider Phlebas is great for those who want a fun novel in a sci-fi setting, with a fast pace and rapid plot.

The book I was reading at the time was ‘Sharpe’s Tiger’ by Bernard Cornwell. This is the first book in the series chronologically, though not the first published (that would be Sharpe’s Eagle).

The books I bought:
– The Gap of Time – Jeanette Winterson.
– The Watchmaker of Filigree Street – Natasha Pulley.
– Hyperion Omnibus – Dan Simmons.

Thank you for watching.
