It is part of a trilogy. There are two other books set in the universe but aren't related to this story.

If you've not read it, I highly recommend the Flashman series which I found to be highly entertaining and amusing. Historically set in the mid-1800s the scandalous exploits of an officer in the English military in Scotland, India, and Afghanistan.

I just got my hands on Silvia Brown's Life On The Other Side. I'll report back on that one. :D

I just finished up Life on the Other Side. Interesting read, but it's truthfulness and sincerity is undetermined or if you prefer, suspect. If interested, see my wrap up, reply #83 in .

Just finished 'Bossypants' by Tina Fey; took a little less than four hours. Just downloaded 'London: The Novel' by Edward Rutherford. This one should take a little longer (~1000 pages :eek:). :p

The Perks of Being a Wallflower By Stephen Chbosky and Middle School, the Worst Years of My Life by James Patterson and The Watsons Go to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis and 13 Gifts by Wendy Mass. So far i like The Perks of Being a Wallflower the best :D

Edward Rutherford's books are an interesting idea - and the earlier chapters of the London book are very good.

I've spent the best part of two days in bed (had two impacted wisdom teeth removed, and so needed an uncomplicated place to recover) and read two books by Derek Robinson, two of his WW1 RFC trilogy "War Story" and "Hornet's Sting". Apart from his pretty lousy female characterisation (a failing of many male authors), the books are excellent.

Recently finished a Life on the Other Side by psychic Sylvia Browne. A lively discussion regarding the subject matter and Ms Browne is located in a dedicated thread.

Just finished Honor Among Enemies, the 6th in the Honor Harrington space combat series, the perpetual conflict between the Royal Manticoran Navy and the People's Republic of Haven.

After being kicked out of the RMN, after a spectacular duel with an enemy and while the war with the "Peeps" continues unabated, Lady Harrington is given the chance to captain a Q Ship, a heavily armed freighter whose mission is to take down pirates raiding Manticore cargo vessels. Her by-chance encounters with Peep war ships is explosive...

This book is not as awesome as the previous books, but it is still a good read. I've got the next book "In Enemy Hands" where she becomes a prisoner of war. Fingers crossed it's good...

Currently reading Ghosts Among Us by psychic James Van Praagh. Next on my list is Catching Fire, the 2nd of the Hunger Games trilogy...
