My sister has brought out her second book in her series Homequest. It is called Decimation and is a good read for teens. (Available on Amazon or the Book Depository- author Jane Browning.)
I'm amazed she had time to do it, what with looking after my dad for the last 5 months of his life.
It is science fantasy novel.

I'm back into the Anne MacCaffrey Dragon books at the moment - re-read a couple of the originals, and now on some of the newer ones, starting with Dragonheart that she wrote with her son Todd. I love the whole idea of the complete fantasy world she created around the dragons, its fabulous even after not reading about it for so many years :wub:

Finished it yesterday. Enjoyed it (but it is a bit complicated in places, it'll be interesting to see how they fit all that into a film!).

Will go and see the film on the weekend :)
