For Fecks Sake Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Reading the latest Ian Rankin / Rebus book "A song for dark times". Another excellent installment of the globally acclaimed Edinburgh Detective Series. Well written, good story and all the usual characters - well worth a read. Link to comment

John Niven's books are fantastic. Straight White Male is a great read. No Good Deed is also a belter! Link to comment

Ramandu Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Anyone read the Patrick O'Brian books (Master & Commander etc)? I had the first one as a holiday read, and really enjoyed it, a great insight into life at sea in the Napoleonic era. But there are 21 of them, and I'm wondering if it holds up across the series.

Not read any of this series but will give it a go. Generally any series with that amount of book will be of a good standard (Sharpe, Rebus, Bernie Gunther, Bosch etc). Can recommend the Bernie Gunter series - outstanding. Link to comment

Hastings is a good read, though I think he has a bad rep among other military historians. I'm geeing myself up to read Sand and Steel and Snow and Steel... but before that I want to read some dumb shit by Tom Clancy. Probably The Bear and the Dragon, because thinking is hard.
