  Page Count: 144 Pages After all my talk, yesterday, of not diving straight into ‘Dark Creed’… Last night, I almost did just that. The days seem to be getting a little tougher, the closer my job comes to its end, and I wanted something that wasn’t going to be too demanding. Don’t judge me ;o) And then I ended up spending the evening with my ex-wife and daughters and I feel like I need to clarify. My ex-wife is the only ‘ex’, my daughters are still my daughters ;o) Damn I’m tired. Anyway… I still fancied a read, last night, but by the time I got back, there wasn’t time to get stuck into ‘Dark Creed’. There was time for an hour, or two, with Volume 3 of ‘Saga’ though so… As new parents Marko and Alana travel to an alien world to visit their hero, the family's pursuers finally close in on their targets. For one of them though, the reason for that pursuit has suddenly changed… Volume 3 of ‘Saga’ ended up being just what I needed last night. A read with plenty to say but also a re...

  Page Count: 152 Pages. Another ‘shorter’ post for today… All of a sudden, work has become about handing over to the people who will stay on after I leave; kind of obvious really but the need to get it done has kicked up a notch. On top of that, I’ve also got my two daughters coming round so today is going to be about juggling stuff and seeing how long I can keep it all in the air. Definitely a ‘short post day’ then, you understand ;o) Last night felt like a good time then to pick up the next instalment of ‘Saga’ and keep moving forwards on what will hopefully be a full readthrough of the whole series. A nice short read for what ended up what felt like a short evening. Thanks to her star-crossed parents Marko and Alana, newborn baby Hazel has already survived lethal assassins, rampaging armies, and alien monstrosities, but in the cold vastness of outer space, the little girl encounters something truly frightening: her grandparents!

  Page Count: 160 Pages I used to own a copy of ‘Saga: Volume One’ but had to let it go during a rough period a good few years ago. Is the copy that I saw in Greenwich Oxfam, a few days ago, that same copy, had a bit of a journey but finally found its way back home? Of course it isn’t but I’m a bit of a soft old fool and like to think that it might be… ;o) Either way, I’ve got a ‘new’ copy that I won’t let go this time and it’s the book that I spent a couple of hours with, last night, after my daughters went home. Let me tell you a little bit about it. Quick thoughts today as yesterday was a tough one and today looks like it could be more of the same… When two soldiers, from opposite sides of a never-ending galactic war, fall in love, they risk everything to bring a fragile new life into a dangerous universe. That’s only the first step though, this new family must somehow build a new life for themselves with a price on their heads that just won’t go away… On the face of it, the fir...
