Haig is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors..and that's only after two books! How to Stop Time is a wonderful love story, a fascinating sci-fi story, and an insightful social commentary. Haig is a wonderful story-teller and a well told story is a story worth telling and reading.
I was lucky enough to get a copy of this manuscript pre-publication: WOW! This is an intense read through one man's journey through illness. The reader follows our protagonist through feeling unwell, to diagnoses, treatment and to the brink. Does the power of our conscious and subconscious have an affect on our physical health and recovery? These are the questions posited and beautifully explored in this forthcoming book by a popular author! It's due to be released in October.
A collection of Continental Op stories that are raw, smart and fast paced. I love hat the Op is not some super butch, muscleman, action type hero...he's short, fat and uses his brains! Exciting stuff and astonishing considering how long ago they were written!
My first time reading a Continental Op book, and WOW-he's got everything thrown at him in this one! Each section seems to be its own little mystery, but they are all interconnected and nothing is what it is first thought to be. Pretty heavy stuff for almost 100 years ago!
Twisted mystery that spans a couple of years...a child that tends to exaggerate (if not lie) stories...a Hallowe'en part for children...Ariadne Oliver loses her love of apples...how could you not love this mystery!
These are more summaries than stories. A lot of typos made it little difficult to read this one. I don't know why full names, locations and dates weren't used.
An interesting twist on the secret/black ops agent story. Rather than a mercenary or former government worker the agent is an Incubus! This short story is the first of many in this series and was a fun read.
