another excellent pair of novels
Johannes Cabal – the Necromancer & Johannes Cabal the Detective
Great stuff by Jonathan L. Howard
The third novel – The Fear Institute arrived the other day, also excellent, I’m really really enjoying these.
Cabal is a little bit Sheldon, & a little bit Sherlock Holmes – wonderful stuff, funny, clever, dark.

In what feels like the first time this year, we actually saw the sky today!
Took the chance to finally move all the plasterboard into the office from where it has been sitting out in the rain for nearly a week, and to mow the grass.
Tomorrow its wiring & insulation, & then we can start putting up the plasterboard

Three books in the Metrozone series to date, & all wonderful!
Click the link to go to Simon’s Metrozone page.
Gripping, fast moving SF, with some really cool concepts (like an order of bodyguard nuns) & a central character who is smart, bespectacled & funny – very funny.
Also makes use of the Firefly “swearing a lot but in another language” trick to great effect.
I throughly enjoyed these novels
Ok – these are very very good.
I have now read them again, & possibly ever better the second time around, and in only 2 months!
