New Avengers Vol.3 (soft cover)

Is this the one covering the Civil War?

[gamer Mac]

Just finished reading this.



Very interesting book with a lot of good colonial stuff in it including Nile gun boats. It is a fictional book but the story is based around the actual facts for the time. The author has done a good bit of research. A "colonial Hornblower" I have seen it described as.

Gamer Mac,

have you read Wilbur Smith "Triumph of the Sun"? if so, how do they compare?

[gamer Mac]

I may have but I can't remember it. I read a lot of his books years ago.
Sorry

That particular Simon Fonthill book isn't available in the US.  Is it brand new, or a reissue of an older book?

[gamer Mac]

I only just bought it from WH Smiths. New I think. It is the first one I have read. I may have go and hunt out the other ones.

I've read about four of them, and like them a lot.  As I said, however, that one isn't available here yet.  I'd appreciate it if you would check the publication date among the first few pages.

Sorry just read this I will ckeck it tonight when I get home.

RatTrap's Fantastic Worlds rulebook from Dave Thomas on eBay.

At first glance it looks quite complicated, but that just might be the way its laid out. Will have a good read of it later though.

Shame it couldn't be full colour, as some of the pics are a bit murky in reproduction, but that's just nit-picking really. Looking forward to seeing where it takes me.

Thank you.  So presumably I just have to wait for it to be published here.

Or you could get it from Amazon.co.uk if you are in a hurry to read it. They are currently listing it. I've bought books and CDs that were unavailable here from the US Amazon site plenty of times with no bother (and using my UK account too, no messing around there), I'm sure it would work the other way round too.

I thought about that, but I'm just going to wait for the US edition.  For one thing, I'm not in a huge hurry, as I have a lot on my to-read stack.  Additionally, though, I think the US editions have a uniform cover illustration style, which is different from the cover illustration shown earlier in the thread.  It's a stupid thing to hold out for, but I'd prefer my collection of Simon Fonthill books to look the same.

But I agree with you about the interchangeability between UK and US Amazons.  I've ordered any number of used CDs through the US Amazon system, and had them mailed from UK locations for exactly the same S&H as if they came from US locations.  It's great because a lot of the music I like was on the British charts, and therefore there are lots of used copies there, but never scored in the US, and is therefore rare here.
