  1. Hi Ian, did the story follow a similar theme as the others i have read ie normal person pulled into a topsy turvey ride helping someone else?
  2. ISBN 978-0-9558298-6-4 This book is for the Led zeppelin fan who loves the music but doesn't really know the history of the band. Cataloging the bands humble beginnings through the rise to mega stardom of the late 60's and through the 70's, the break up of the band in 1980 and the subquent solo careers of the band members and the one off reunion in 2007. This book has good size photographs in black and white and colour backed up with a reasonable amount of text. If you are a Led Zep expert already and are looking for snippets of information not already documented then this book will tell you little of what you already know, but the photographs alone are probably worth the purchase. There is a Cronology / Discography at the end of the book which is good but the text size is tiny so get ya specks on. I am a massive Led Zeppelin fan and have nearly all the bands albums this is the first book on the band i have had and will make exellent coffee table reading.
  3. Hi all, thanks for replying to my first book post. Really sorry for not adding my own views on the book:blush: It took ages to get down the blurb ( I don't type well ) and it was late too. This is the second book by Robert Goddard i have read the other being his latest i think called Found Wanting. The book starts with the main character who seems to lead a normal um drum life who meets up with someone from his past, this meeting leads him into twists and turns through out. There is plenty of traveling around the world for Lance Bradley in the book. I think it has a good plot and is a good read, which only took me a day or two.
  4. Hi all just finished reading this book and can highly recomend this book and this author. ISBN 0-552-14877-6 The blurb: Lance Bradley idling his life away in the little Somerset town of Glastonbury, suddenly receives a call for help from the eccentric sister of his old friend Rupert Alder. Rupe appears to have vanished without trace. Reluctantly, Lance goes to London, to discover that Rupe's employers want him tried for fraud. A Japanese businessman claims he has stolen a document of huge importance. And a private detective is demanding money for trying to trace,on Rupe's behalf, an American called Townley, who was involved in a mysterious death at Wilderness Farm, near Glastonbury, back in 1963. No sooner has Lance decided that whatever Rupe was up to is too risky to get involved in than he finds that he already is involved, and the only way out is to get in deeper still. Where is Rupe? What is the document he has stolen? who is Townley? And what happened at Widerness Farm nearly thirty years before that holds the key to a secret more amazing than Lance Bradley could ever have imagined?
  5. Hi the book i have read time after time is The Flag Captain by Alexander Kent. I know the story but i can always read it again.
  6. Hi Maureen, yes i have read this book and Deja Dead. I did what i always hate to do and that is to read the author out of sequence but never mind very good in depth read.
