VIROLUTION

FRANK RYAN


"Readable and disturbing" is oneof the two cover blurbs on this book.

And its spot-on accurate as a description. ... unlike some blurbs ...

This is a fascinating and challenging book about the latest developements and research into the role of viruses in evolution and biology. It does require a fairly high level of science knowledge though but its well worht the effort. Read tit and think and perhaps be a little afraid.

Bright Hair About the Bone

Bright Hair about the Bone

Barbara Cleverly

A Laetitia Talbot Mystery

This is the second Laetitia Talbot book and like her other series featuring Joe Sandilands is set in the 1920s in England and France. There's plenty of action mysteries archaeological and otherwise, politics, oh and a look at certain "Cults" and a romance that I suspect is a delibarate dig at certain cliches of the genre. Enjoyable well written and an improvement on the first one that while good had a few slow moments.

Definitely watch out for more books in this series and good news... there should be an new Joe Sandilands book out later in 2010!
