Alan, I think there are more of those sorts of book published or in the pipeline to be: Queen Victoria as a demon-hunter, Abraham Lincoln as vampire-slayer, that sort of thing. Perhaps someone should do one in which the protagonist is Dennis Wheatley. :)[/quote] Hey, what a great idea - no commercia...

The other big difference between the Bourne story and the others one is that in the former, the entire story is built around the amnesia, thus allowing a much richer and more extensive development of the implications. In the other two , the memory loss is just a part of the story, put in purely for ...

Just vaguely possible this is a DW reference
During my last break in the country I read Christopher Priest's excellent "The Prestige". Now, I don't want to ruin it for anyone who is going to read the book (or see the movie that's based on it) so I'll confine myself to a brief summary. Essentially, it's about two feuding magicians, an...

In his Cadogan Square days, I suppose he could have switched to Chelsea - he could have sat next to Lord Larry![font=Courier New] [/font] Well, it's a well-known fact that ALL great writers support Chelsea.

The figurinres is also a good idea, possibly models of various vehicles, eg The Duke's Hispano could also be produced Best to all Duncan[/quote] It already is - or at least at one stage was.

Yes, I DO have problems, actually. I had a mouthful of coffee when I read about the Kazdim kebabs, and the resultant laugh sent it splattering all over my screen. (Er, no remarks about what else may have splattered over my monitor over the years, please!) Anyway, this fast food deal thing is really ...
