Me gustaría saber dónde puedo conseguir libros del autor, tales como "The Flights of Icarus" o "Views". Gracias, y espero que se reimpriman pronto. Un saludo

This book is a must. If you only like music or if you love the covers more than the music inside or if you are learning to design covers...Well, this book has it all. The covers are show by elements in commom, so you can judge by yourself about the criativity of the designers. Roger Deam is a famous artist well know by his covers and stages for the rock group Yes. But this does not interfere with the overall result. The guys did a fantastic job compiling all the covers in this book. There are rock covers, jazz covers, latim, dance, disco, and so on. All possible covers are there. Don't hesitate. Buy it now!

Well known for his picture post-card views of Scotland, Colin Baxter has taken his work to a more satisfying level with this book of his Iceland photographs. Accumulated over many years' visits -this book provides an invaluable catalouge of what to see should you be visiting this unique country. Photographers and those with a special interest in landscape will find the map showing the photo locations invaluable. Good design, adequate printing, lots of photos, some very good indeed. Icelandair should be very pleased with its impact on tourism: very low Puffin count too!

A few days in the life of a space faring, lady truck driver with an over-active libido whose luck turns from bad to worse. I suppose its fair to say that a fast pace and confusion often go together. This book does a decent job of balancing the two. The main character is a tad schizo in that she is both the prototypical assertive modern woman and a pushover for a pretty face. Neat aliens (I liked the cherubs the most) and some of the most explicit sex that I've ever read in a sci-fi. Not a classic IMHO by any means, but an entertaining read. If you're running low on ideas for new material to read and aren't looking for spiritual enlightenment, give it shot.

This is a rather interesting cocktail: a Dickensian space tale of a girl looking for her past. Wooden spaceships, primitive Martian angels and what else. Greenland's way of treating the space opera setting is somewhat similar to Iain M. Banks, but he doesn't have a philosophy as deep. Also, the ending is somewhat clumsy. Still a good read - for those who understand.

This is the third in a loosely bound trilogy. Each is written in a different style. The first (Take Back Plenty) was a brilliant adventure novel through the solar system. The second (Seasons of...) wasn't planned when the first was written and it shows. It rambles. This gets back to the adventure ideal but why read the third book when the first is much better.

In "Take back Plenty", Tabitha Jute gained control of a very large alien spaceship fitted with a faster-than-light drive. In the second volume of the Plenty trilogy, she decides to make mankind's first interstellar voyage. The book starts quite well, and it ends with a great cliffhanger, but the six hundred odd pages in between seem rather unnecessary.

"Seasons of Plenty" is a story of breakdowns, the breakdown of Tabitha Jute, of order and sanity on the starship Plenty, and -- to a certain degree -- of the starship itself. This might have been entertaining if it had not been so very very long, or if the characters involved had at least been interesting, but that is not the case.

Sometimes, I felt Greenland was trying to imitate M. John Harrison, and if he did, he failed spectacularly.
