I've just finished the fourth book in the adventures of Simon Templar - “The Avenging Saint”. First published with the title “Knight Templar” in 1930, this is a direct sequel to “The Saint Closes the Case”, which I read and...

In my ongoing quest to read all the adventures of Simon Templar in order, I've just finished the third book in the saga. “The Saint Closes the Case” was originally titled “The Last Hero”, which I think is a better title. First...

Ukraine is hurt.
I admire Zelensky. (Hope I spelt his name right)
But somewhere, I feel, I would be right too in wanting to give up.
I would get the bad name for generations. But Ukrainians would live.
In some way, I feel, I...

Victor Frankenstein There's always that temptation, but if a ceasefire was called now, that would leave Russia with considerable territorial gains at the expense of Ukraine. And if you let aggressors profit from their crimes, it just encourages them to try again later. In...

Over the last couple of years, I've got heavily into collecting Ace Science Fiction Doubles. This was a line of paperback books, published over a period of about twenty years, from the early 50s to the 70s. Each one consisted of...

I do to a certain extent. I mostly read The Man From U.N.C.L.E. fanfic, from the old TV show, not the movie.
I've also enjoyed reading Doctor Who, more of the classic show rather than the reboot.
I have written some fanfic as...

Victor Frankenstein I used to read a lot of Blake's 7 fan fiction, as well as some Dr Who. This was back in the days (late 80s-early 90s) when there were still fan clubs and fanzines that you could order through the post. I hardly ever buy fanzines these days, but there don't...

Whoever would have thought that? When the then-Prince of Wales, Charles, became engaged to his longtime love Camilla it was said that she would never be known as the Princess of Wales (due to the UK's love for the late Diana,...

Mr. Miyagi had a new student. She was a very troubled and angry girl at first until he started to teach her. Her name was Julie Pierce and she lost both of her parents and was living with her grandmother until Mr. Miyagi sent her...

Victor Frankenstein I saw this years ago. I wouldn't say it was as good as the previous Karate Kid movies, but it had its moments, and I liked the two central characters. The next season of Cobra Kai is going to be the last. I hope Julie appears in it at least once, they've...

Victor Frankenstein I disagree. I was lucky enough to get a temporary working from home job during the lockdown, and I genuinely believe I was more productive than I would have been having to go in to an office every day. No having to get up early so I could fight rush hour...

Either way, I always understand that even being the frugal guy I am, I, like everyone else still have to...
