This is a very unusual alt-WW2 novel. I've posted a review on my blog (see link below).

The latest issue of Vector, a publication of the British Science Fiction Association, concentrates on AH, with several interesting articles about it. I have summarised the main points on my blog (see link in my sig below).

Some shameless self-publicity...you can now read the first two chapters on my website, HERE :cool:

This is an original, inventive and very good novel which starts as a contemporary mystery and ends up in alternate worlds; but quite unlike anything normally discussed on this site - far more fantastic! I've posted a full review on my SFF blog.

To those of you who, like me, are intrigued by modern cosmology but don't know enough science to understand the apparently bizarre theories of modern physicists, I can thoroughly recommend this book. It demonstrates that parallel worlds and alternate histories may not only be possible, but...

I recently had the strange experience of listening to a podcast of myself being interviewed about my novel Scales, on The Writing Show, where the interview is available for downloading. It's a rather disconcerting feeling... In case you were wondering about the relevance, Scales does include...

British capital design arguably reached its peak with the 'Queen Elizabeth' class 15" gunned ships of the early part of the Great War. The succeeding classes were all flawed in some respects: the 'R' class battleships were better protected, but too slow. The 15"-gunned battlecruisers and 'large...

I've posted an article on my website on my perspective on publishing fiction, especially how self-publishing compares with the traditional route. See: http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/OnPublishingFiction.htm

I'm pleased (and relieved) to announce my new novel - just out as an e-book, with hard-copy to follow shortly. You can read the first chapter on-line (link from my website). Not like The Foresight War, but it does contain a major parallel worlds/alternate history plot in the second half!

I have a vague recollection of having seen on TV, some time ago, a film about the Vietnam War in which someone from the future travelled back to the 1960s and tried to persuade President Johnson that involvement in Vietnam would end in disaster, so it would be better not to start. Unfortunately...

It is generally said that Edward VIII gave up his throne for love of Wallace Simpson. In fact, it appears that the reason was more basic - sex! I recall reading one history of E8 in which he privately confessed that WS was the only woman who had ever been able to satisfy him sexually. I have...

Not the Mosquito this time – the test is this: if you could go back to 1935 and dictate the design of one aircraft which would be the most use to the RAF and/or FAA in WW2, what would it be? My take on it is on my website here: http://www.quarry.nildram.co.uk/WW2plane.htm Tony Williams...

I have a passing interest in sailing yachts, and given the multihull's (and especially catamaran's) advantages of light weight, stability, interior space and level grounding, it makes me wonder if anyone would be bothering with monohulls if they hadn't been invented first. After all, the...
