Am currently ploughing through a bunch of Peter May novels. Started with the Lewis trilogy and have just kept going. Good thriller writer.

The sequels are a bit so-so. Worth a read probably, but not the same calibre as Vurt.Originally posted by BR14 View PostComment

And here's Gwyn Thomas in a long ago documentary showing the upper Vale of Neath:
The bit where the gunpowder works used to be, and the silica mines that were used to make bricks that were famous around the world.
Apparently the gunpowder works didn't make powder for guns, rather it produced mining explosives.
Glad we've cleared that up, like.
Next up: "The former Miss Merthyr Tydfil and other stories" by Alun Richards (1976).
Not finding some of this particular book overly gripping.

Hard graft some of this.
Never mind, it sends me to sleep quite successfully, I get bored with one short story, hop off to another, get bored with that, and go to sleep.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 7 January 2021, 12:48.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Just started re-reading The Night Watch by Sergey Lukyanenko.
I read the original trilogy years ago and the fourth one that came along. I then picked up the fifth and sixth books but never read them (my Mum did at the time and she rather enjoyed them). Whilst I'm sure I don't really need to refamiliarise myself with the back story to appreciate books five and six, I felt I'd get more out of it if I did.Comment
