Maybe she’ll buy that smart new suit after all. He’s not really listening, is he? Oh, dear, what a dreadful pickle Emma gets herself into!

What did Alistair MacLean write to deserve such a scalding review? ‘HMS Ulysses’ is certainly not a glamorous story about heroism but about unrelenting stress, hardship, exhaustion and extreme weather conditions that took a heavy physical and psychological toll on the crew of HMS Ulysses. In other reviews ‘HMS Ulysses’ and ‘The Cruel Sea’ were compared and most reviewers agreed that both novels were equally disturbing in their portraying of the horrors of the battle of the North Atlantic. That certainly alerted people and the novel soon topped the world’s bestseller lists. ![]() One of the first reviews of Alistair MacLean’s debut ‘HMS Ulysses’ (1955) described the book as “the worst insult to the Royal Navy ever published”. When ‘The Cruel Sea’, written by Nicholas Montsarrat, was published in 1951 it was an immediate success. ![]() ![]() As more and more of these canisters drop, a human delegation forms and approaches the Martians while waving white flags of peace, but the Martians vaporize the humans immediately. A canister drops from the sky in a sudden explosion and lands near the narrator's home, opening to reveal an alien who has grey skin with large eyes and tentacles. The War of the Worlds is a first-person narrative of an unnamed protagonist from Surrey who lives through the invasion of southern England being by Martians. While his science fiction imagined things such as alien invasions and time travel, he also predicted nuclear weapons, space travel, and even the internet through his works. During his lifetime, he wrote dozens of novels and short stories that examined how different society would be in his progressive future vision of the world. Wells, praised as the father of science fiction, was an influential social critic who focused on the future. Wells is known as one of the earliest stories to depict conflict between the human race and an extraterrestrial race. ![]() ![]() Written by the four-time nominee of the Nobel Prize in Literature, The War of the Worlds by H. ![]() ![]() ![]() That, thankfully, is the only time the word “shit” will be used in this review, because the album, Hey Mr Ferryman, is a very lovely thing indeed. ![]() Middle age being what it is, the only reaction this elicited was an “OK honey. Sadly, or fortunately, depending on whether you’re me or the person who does my laundry, I am somewhat less excitable these days (though those unfortunate to have been standing near me at last October’s Morrissey gig in Singapore may disagree), and so the announcement of a Mark & Bernie album was greeted with little more than an “Oh wow, Mark Eitzel and Bernard Butler have made an album together!”. Back in the early ’90s, when my obsessions with both American Music Club and Suede were at their peak, the news of a collaboration between Mark Eitzel and Bernard Butler would’ve had me jizzing myself into a state of such advanced desiccation that they’d have had to put me on a drip for at least a week. ![]() ![]() ![]() The man she had us hating was made into a man we fell in love with only to find his past has now caught up with him so will Katy be strong enough to wether the storm about to hit their doorstep……one click to find out.

They brought the characters and their story to life, they hit every emotion and their tones made it a joy to listen to. ![]() ![]() Maxine Mitchell and John Lane were the perfect duo to narrate this emotion journey. Being back in the life of the man I loved to hate Richard Van Ryan and his adorable wife Katy and their grown up children took over my life and I was captivated from the moment I picked this book up and I wasn’t going to stop reading until I had read the final word. I was so excited for The Addendum ( The Contract #3) and I wasn’t disappointed, this story was everything I expected and so much more. ![]() |
