A vivid 'alternate history' novel set partially in medieval France and partially in the present day. The scope of the book is immense and Ash herself is extremely well-painted.

I'm so glad I discovering the SF Masterworks series I've yet to get a duffer! In this, I found myself guessing till the end whether Reich would get away with it....

A superb vampire yarn. The relationship between York and Marsh is fascinating, and I found the final (modern-day) scene surprisingly moving.

This was sitting on my 'to read' pile for ages till a long journey gave me a chance to read the whole trilogy. Once you get over the odd premise of live ships, you're transported to a rich world.

An enjoyable, light read I loved it at the time and can remember hardly any of it now!

Entertaining whodunnit set in a Big Brother style house. I bought the book to find out more howdunnit.

Surprisingly unpompous autobiography. After reading this I repect Anne Robinson a lot more, but find her even scarier than before!
