He keeps reminding me in a way of Dexter – the serial killer who again by any societal moral standards everyone should hate and abhor, yet you can’t but love (the two characters are very different from each other, however). Victor is the perfect anti-hero with his strange moral codes which you can’t but be impressed of. Reading the Tom Wood books in order means picking up his series which currently includes 7 main books and a short novella. Last Updated on SeptemTom Wood is the author of the Victor The Assassin thriller series. Probably its most unique aspect (one which Mosse also utilizes in Sepulchre and Citadel the Spiritual Successors and quasi-sequels to Labyrinth) is that there are actually two narratives at work, one contemporary, one set in the past, each running concurrently over the course of the story until they converge in the final chapters. That’s a hat-trick of delight right there. So it’s taken me this long to finally get my thoughts in order and write down something relevant concerning Labyrinth.Īt first glance, Labyrinth looks like the sort of story that’s been designed to cater to my specific tastes. But I’ve now been able to watch it in its entirety and compare it to Kate Mosse’s original novel upon which it is based. Ages ago I found the first half on YouTube and told myself I’d wait until the next day to watch the second – and of course by the time I returned (no more than twelve hours later) it had been taken down. At long last, I’ve managed to track down the second half of the Labyrinth television miniseries. A sleazy former mayor with greedy aspirations gets involved. Political implications underlie every step. Higher-ups at LAPD are overanxious to strut the case publicly. Bosch is paired with inexperienced 28-year-old Lucy Soto, a Hispanic uniform cop promoted, perhaps prematurely, after her heroic standoff during a gang shootout. So the LAPD Open-Unsolved Unit has assigned hardboiled veteran homicide detective Harry Bosch and his new rookie partner to untangle the perplexing crime.Īs usual, Connelly stirs the plot early on. The case was never closed and the victim has just died of complications from the wound a decade later. Ten years earlier, he had been the accidental victim of a suspected gang-related drive-by shooting in Los Angeles' Mariachi Plaza. In Michael Connelly's 19th Harry Bosch mystery, the only fresh evidence in the LAPD's warmest cold case is a mushroomed bullet removed during an autopsy from a mariachi band guitarist's spine. What a beautiful cover and it sounds like an interesting story. If she’s to uncover the truth she craves, she’ll have to decide whether knowledge of the past is worth forfeiting her second chance at life. The inextricable pull to the stranger, and the broken memories that storm her mind when he’s near, warn of a history quite different to any she could have imagined. He only confirms the one thing she already knows she’s dying.Ī lonely death without ever knowing her past seems inevitable until a sudden, mystifying return to health coincides with the arrival of a boy in the opposite out-building. Yet Father’s whirlwind visits to draw blood and administer medication don’t provide answers. A mournful song haunts her dreams and hints at a past not completely buried-one she’s desperate to uncover. Bedbound by illness, she has no memory of life before the freezing barn she now calls home. Emerson a champion of Thoreau, encouraged him to keep a journal which became a life-long habit and from which his first written piece for journal The Dial was taken. After graduating and returning to his hometown, Thoreau with his brother John opened the Concord Academy, which alongside a traditional program also promoted new concepts such as taking walks in nature and paying visits to local businesses.Īn early friendship and influence came in the form of the essayist and Transcendentalism founder, Ralph Waldo Emerson. He was to spend almost all of his life in Concord, save for his time at Harvard from 1833 to 1837 where he studied classics, philosophy, science, and maths. An avid, and widely-read, student of philosophy from the classical to the contemporary, Thoreau pursued philosophy as a way of life and not solely a lens for thought and discourse.īorn in 1817 in Concord, Massachusetts, Thoreau was raised in a modest household by his parents John Thoreau, a pencil maker, and Cynthia Dunbar. He is best known for Walden, an account of a simpler life lived in natural surroundings, first published in 1854, and his 1849 essay Civil Disobedience which presents a rebuttal of unjust government influence over the individual. Henry David Thoreau was an American philosopher, environmentalist, poet, and essayist. Mrs Jones longs for a little girl – so much so that this year she has bought and decorated a tiny tree, defying her husband's gentle mockery. The third strand in the story belongs to Mr and Mrs Jones, a policeman and his wife in attractive, redheaded middle age, who have no children. Then Holly and Ivy see each other through the shop window. Appalled, Holly wishes strenuously to be purchased – but no one comes to buy her, and it's already closing time on Christmas Eve. If the toys are not sold today, Abracadabra threatens, they will be "put into storage" – a dark, cobwebby prospect overseen by the predatory bird himself. Meanwhile, Holly, a pearly-toothed, brown-eyed porcelain beauty in a scarlet party dress, makes her debut in Mr Blossom's toyshop, under the minatory eye of Abracadabra the owl. He was catapulted to immense wealth and had no need to write any more. Then, famously, he'd hit upon the idea of inventing a new religion, Scientology, complete with a detailed and coherent, if completely bizarre, mythology. Ron Hubbard had originally been a somewhat-successful author of SF and horror novels, novellas and short stories back in the Golden Age of science fiction. Ron Hubbard.Īs a result, I had committed myself to what remains one of the most harrowing literary experiences of my life: approximately four thousand pages of some of the worst writing in any genre I've ever read. That book was called The Invaders Plan and was the first volume in a 'dekalogy' (the writer's term) called Mission Earth. Being a bit of a speed-reader, doing the sane thing and just contrasting two books would have taken about a week, so I decided to be a bit more ambitious and went for two series of books: Isaac Asimov's six-volume Foundation series (the seventh and last was out but I hadn't read it), which I'd just read for fun anyway, and another series which I'd just started reading after randomly finding the first book in a library. at school: we had to compare and contrast two works of the same genre. Long ago, in the early 1990s, I was given a long piece of coursework for English Lit. The four tales are written with the same skill, quality and hallmarks that made Tolkien's Hobbit a classic.
