Fantastic reviews in today’s Guardian
ByWe know how good our books are, of course, but it’s still nice to get confirmation from a national newspaper.
In today’s Guardian, reviewer (and excellent SF author) Eric Brown says this of The Bookman:
The Bookman is a delight, crammed with gorgeous period detail, seat-of-the-pants adventure and fabulous set-pieces.
And of Thomas Blackthorne’s Edge:
Cumberland leaps off the page, a trained killer whose anger and grief at his daughter’s condition is brilliantly portrayed; the depiction of his simmering rage, barely held in check, and how he channels it, provides a masterclass in characterisation.

Don’t forget – you can meet Thomas Blackthorne (aka John Meaney) at London’s Forbidden Planet Megastore this coming Friday (Feb 12th) for a signing session, and then retire to a local hostelry afterward for a chat. Also, Aliette de Bodard, author of the wonderful Servant of the Underworld. The signing is from 6.00pm until 7.00pm.
