![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Whilst Blaydon attracts men like moths to a lamp (especially cruise manager Nikolaides), Ambrose makes a much less positive impression, going so far as creating enemies. Like many holiday based mysteries there is an assortment of holidaymaker characters, but the two who cause the greatest consternation are the widowed Melissa Blaydon and her sister Ianthe Ambrose, the latter of whom is a classics school teacher who has had a nervous breakdown. The story commences with Nigel and his partner/ girlfriend, Clare Massinger, booking themselves on to a cruise around the Greek islands. Suffice to say it was actually much better than I remembered. Being the 13 th out of 16 Strangeways mysteries I was wondering what sort of read this was going to be. By and large I have often preferred Blake’s earlier novels, finding the later ones tended to sparkle less or were quite frankly a bit disturbing.

At the same time, we follow the larger, overarching destiny of mankind itself. Through these artfully shifting perspectives, we follow the individual destinies of a diverse group of characters, all of whom we have come to know in intimate detail. Joseph sits in on the private war councils of Hegemony CEO Meina Gladstone while also maintaining a telepathic link with the pilgrims on Hyperion. The story comes to us through the voice of Joseph Severn, an artificially created “cybrid” uniquely placed to describe every level of the narrative. With these elements firmly in place, an extraordinary vision of the future is ready to unfold. And the identity of the rumored traitor within the pilgrims’ camp has been revealed. ![]() The pilgrims making their way toward their confrontations with the Shrike have told their stories. Interstellar war between the Hegemony of Man and the quasi-human Ousters has begun. By the time the novel begins, much of significance has already taken place. ![]() The Fall of Hyperion is the second and final volume of Dan Simmons’s award winning Hyperion Cantos.

Murakami seems under the belief that women are obsessed by their own breasts (if you think you are dreaming wouldn’t you pinch yourself? Slap yourself? Apparently, if you are a woman, you would likely grab your breasts). ![]() Eri meanwhile is sleeping, but her sleep is disturbed by an ominous presence. Takahashi goes on to play at some club or whatnot and Mari, who is studying Chinese, ends up helping the Chinese prostitute beaten by Shirakawa. Takahashi recognises Mari and approaches her, the two talk about fake-deep things. Set in Tokyo, this slight novel takes place over the course of a single night, rotating between four characters: we have Mari Asai, who is Not Like Other Girls™, who is spending her night reading at Denny’s, a restaurant chain, Takahashi Tetsuya, trombone player who is as dull as a brick and prone to spouting sexist comments (A girl is reading? A girl knows what a trombone is? MADNESS!), Eri, Mari’s beautiful sister who seems trapped in a realm between dreams and reality, and Shirakawa, a man who beats up a Chinese prostitute in a love hotel nearby Mari. ![]() Credit where credit’s due, Murakami certainly knows how to create and maintain a certain ambience. ![]() Having heard a lot about the genius of Murakami over the years I was excepting something a bit more out of After Dark, a novel which, at the risk of incurring the wrath of Murakami aficionados, failed to captivate me. ![]() |
