Rogue Trader hardback.

[Onebigriver]

Dennis Wheatley's Uncharted Seas, published in 1938, basically his answer to the Edgar Rice Burroughs' Land that Time Forgot books. Filmed as The Lost Continent by Hammer in the 1960s. Good Pulpy inspiration!

Not often one gets to blow one's own trumpet, but I just got a copy of my new book wot I wrote:



OK - it's a travel guide, but it has lots of juicy Sudanese history in it. That's the Mahdi's Tomb on the cover BTW, I asked for that just for you LAFers!

Did you squeeze lots of useful photos in? The cover pic certainly is!

Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett

Got that one to! Already halfway through it (not that its any kind of feat...)

It's been a few years since I've read a full discworld novel but he certainly hasn't lost any of his charm or abillity to paint a vivid picture.

FFG's new Rogue Trader RPG.  I'll be straight into the old minis tonight, I think!

Wow, now that is pretty impressive. Written many others? 

Edit; Silly question. Does having a Wikipedia page make you officially famous?

[oxiana]

Really, how so? I never thought is was even remotely feminine! Oxiana is from The Road to Oxiana by Robert Byron, one of the greatest travel books ever written, and a big influence on me.

Lots of landscapes, various ancient ruins along the Nile... I'll have to try to dig out some of my older pics (mostly on slides), I might have some of the Khalifa's House, a museum about the Mahdist state. Has some great artifacts, including banners, weapons and armour recovered from the battlefield at Omdurman (hippo hide shields - does anyone sculpt those?!), the 'banknote' chits issued by Gordon during the siege in lieu of actual currency, lots of stuff like that.

BTW, I did not make that Wikipedia page! If I did, I would have made sure it was actually up to date...
