04.04.08 to 04.21.08 - This is book two that started with "Rhapsody." Anytime you read a sequel your scared to death that it will come up short. "Phophecy" doesn't. It is a bit slow at first but definately picks up and is a good ride! The three main characters, Rhapsody, Achmed and Grunthor are all back but Ashe becomes a leading character that adds to the story. Lots of sword play, banter and more sword play. And add an unknown bad guy to make for a good mystery. Oh did I mention the dragons?
Read the book!

"Stop at a Winner" by R.F. Delderfield
03.09.08 to 04.03.08 - This Delderfield was not one one his masterpieces but since it was uncharacteristically short, I am glad I read it. This book revolves around grifter Horace and gypsy Pedlar who get drafted or join the British RAF during WWII. Horace leads Pope through a series of "fiddles" at base after base and even when they shipped to the continent to fight the Jerrys [Germans]. The loyalty in between the two was like your favorite pair of shoes, you must break them in first. Horace wasn't the more scrupulous man around but grew to be a good man.
Not the best Delderfield but I still say read the book!
