I enjoyed that series. The author had sent me free copies when I had my review site.

I just finished Nightwings by Robert Silverberg. It's a great book, but I had avoided reading it until now in the mistaken belief it had something to do with that movie about killer vampire bats.

I just finished a Richard S. Prather mystery, Bodies in Bedlam, featuring LA private eye Shell Scott

These wonderfully dated private eye novels by Prather are great fun to read, Daddy-O. The lingo zips and prances around on the LA asphalt like three drunken ballerinas in short skirts weaving around on thin ice. The writing will make your eyeballs stand a-goggle in mute wonderment, especially if you've just read two or three pages of Derridian bombast and you need a strong mind-meld, bwana!


Highly recommended if you're not into politically correct language.

I also finished the "Star Trek Movie Tie In" book last night and saw the movie tonight with my wife. I liked both of them very much. When final scene in the book did not appear at the end of the movie before the credits started rolling, we waited until the end of the credits ... maybe it'll be on the DVD.

Seconded. Although I first read them a few years ago now (when I was an impressionable 16 or so), they're among the few sci-fi/fant books that, in my (humble?) opinion, are re-readable.

Have just finished reading The Penal Colony by Richard Herley Who I understand ia a MR member

An excellent and thought provoking read. Thoroughly recommended


Synopsis

It is 1997. The British government now runs island prison colonies to take dangerous offenders from its overcrowded mainland jails. Among all these colonies, Sert, 25 miles off the north Cornish coast, has the worst reputation. There are no warders. Satellite technology is used to keep the convicts under watch. New arrivals are dumped by helicopter and must learn to survive as best they can. But not all the islanders are savages. Under the charismatic leadership of one man a community has evolved. A community with harsh and unyielding rules, peopled by resourceful men for whom the hopeless dream of escape may not be so hopeless after all ...


(The book apparently was the basis for the film 'No Escape' starring Ray Liotta)

EDIT: This post is buried in such a long thread for new viewers I have given it it's own thread. If the mods do not agree please remove it.

Working my way through the series:
"Jonah Black - Diary of a Teenage Stud"

description:======
The Black Books: Diary of a Teenage Stud is a revolutionary new fiction series: a no-holds-barred, darkly comic take on one seventeen-year-old's inner life. Jonah Black chronicles his shrouded-in-mystery return from boarding school and his reentry into a life he'd left behind. His Proustian eye for detail and self-deprecating humor combined with his sexual appetite unique to the seventeen-year-old male make these books truly compulsively entertaining.

Volume I details Jonah's crash-and burn reentry into the high school society and family he left behind two years before.

Gave Oliver Twist a try. I just couldn't keep reading it. Nothing seemed to be happening. So, I gave it up. Sorry Harry. Perhaps I will get back to it.

Decided to buy some more Star Trek SCE books to fill out my collection.

So, reading Star Trek SCE: Foundations.

That was basically my impression I had (20 years ago) and never went back to it to find out otherwise...
