Www, looks interesting.

It looks intriguing! I had to do a little bit of research! :

Colonial Intelligence eyes only

(and that nice chap at the golf club, obviously)

Name: Isembard Smith.
Rank: Captain
Heritage: British

Rumour has it that Smith was marked for greatness at the age of nine, when he consumed a third of his body weight in tiffin - at that time a galactic record. There is a further rumour that the primary source of the original rumour is largely Smith himself.

Since then, he has pursued a career as the British Space Empire's greatest adventurer, but has yet to catch up with it.

He dislikes tyranny, alien invaders and French cuisine. In his free time he builds Airfix kits, drinks tea by the pint and tries to summon the courage to talk to Rhianna Mitchell.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I eagerly await Smiths arrival!

[Plynkes]

I've already taken against the fellow. If he dislikes French cuisine then the man is obviously an idiot.

 

[Rufus]

And some books too ...

Amazing War Stories
The Gargoyle - Death Soldiers of the Jade Hood
Super Science Tales - Terror of the Metal Menace

can't wait to read 'em .

For once my book club Editor's choice wasn't something about the Waffen SS, so just this time I didn't hit the Don't send me this bloody rubbish! button and instead opted to give them a try:






I found them just now sitting on the doorstep, for any passing vagabond to steal.

Hi there!

This is quite odd, but a friend of mine drew my attention to the page here. I wrote Space Captain Smith, so thanks for the mention!

I hope it proves entertaining: there is a British Space Empire, spaceships with polished brasswork, teapots, a morlock horde and a race of Nazi ant-men hell-bent on taking over the galaxy. It’s all quite spiffing.

Anyhow, thanks again for the mention. I suppose I should add that it comes out on the 6th of May – available at Waterstones, Amazon, etc…

I look forward to hearing your review!

What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. The newest Murakami book, exceptionally not yet available in english.

[Lt. Hazel]

I love Murakami. I red an Interview in which he was talking about his passion..he ran 100 km and he ran the historical track from Marathon to Athens..I think he really knows what he´s talking about.

[Rhoderic]

Heh, LAF is getting it's own little Murakami fanclub

As I said a few pages ago in this thread, I love Murakami too.

yes, he does, he ran 26 marathons until today, every day he runs a minimum of 10 km and he is 58...a tough one, really.

Really glad to hear some of us knows and likes Murakami's work. Actually I have lots of his books as audio book but that's not enough for some reason, I'm going to get them all as books.

You're a collector. It gets in the blood. Know the feeling. Have to move soon to get more space for books... and gaming stuff...
