Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book Discussion/Appreciation Anyone..??
sigpic Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.
Book one of the "Powder Mage" trilogy of gunpowder fantasy novels.
A bit like Bernard Cornwell's "Sharpe", but with magic. The riflemen can sprinkle some gunpowder on their tongues, or take is as snuff, and it enhances their senses enabling them to control the path of a bullet after it's fired.

Sixth in the "Lethbridge-Stewart" series of Doctor Who spin off novels, following on from the end of "The Web of Fear", and detailing the events that led to the formation of UNIT and the events of "The Invasion".

First in a series of Urban Fantasy novels that read like "Spooks" meets "Hellboy", with just a dash of "Yes, Minister".
Very, very good, and very, very funny.
I highly recommend it.
