Holiday Reading.

Writer's picture: Ray T WalkerRay T Walker
I am just back from a seafaring holiday; "The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi" by Shannon Chakraborty was a wonderful accompaniment. "Snuff" by Terry Pratchett was magical, perhaps his most thoughtful novel and "Neuromancer" by William Gibson was horrible and fascinating at the same time.
The first is a wondrous seafaring romp with Pirates, magic, and everything else thrown into the mix. I loved it.


The second, a comedy, A comedy that includes depth and some pretty serious philosophy hidden in the mayhem. Terry was a great British writer and I enjoyed entering his worlds once more. Hilarious whilst thoughtful and considered. A masterpiece.
And, of course, what do you say about Neuromancer. A cosmopolitan sleigh ride on speed. The book that gave us "The Matrix" , essential Nihilism, quickfire thought and enhancements (I know Gregory Benford explored some of these Ideas) in this weird slalom of science fiction.
What did you read this year on holiday?

What’s New With Raymond Walker

As you can see from the notes above,  "Under Dark Skies" will be released on the 18th of October. Earlier for those who have funds to buy the early edition hardback. I have started doing a little pre-publication advertising and held a talk about its forthcoming release. Happily, the pre-publication reviews have been great. Comments such as "Dark and Delicious" From Lucy Briggs of "Wondrous Tales" and "A clever, accomplished Mystery" from fellow author Rob Anderson have done nothing but confirm my enthusiasm for this Book.

18th October. 
Under Dark Skies.
