Bandersnatch was fairly interesting. I'm glad it gave gamebooks some good exposure! |

Hi David, are you sure you completed it? There should be a star instead of the dread skull'n'cross bones! |

'War of the Wolf' - This is the eleventh book in the Saxon Stories series by leading historical fiction author Bernard Cornwell. And, at time of this RC recommendation, the latest Uhtred Ragnarson adventure set in late Dark Age Britain. Uhtred, the ageing warlord of Bebbanburg (later to be known as Bamburgh Castle) has journeyed from Northumbria to help the besieged city of Caester (Chester) from a rebellious army. However, this is only the start of a serious undertaking: Uhtred soon sets about finding Skoll, a ruthless Norse chieftain with designs on becoming a powerful king in his own right. His ambitions prey upon smaller kingdoms, including that of Bebbanburg: of this Uhtred is all too aware. But Skoll's fearsome reputation rivals that of Uhtred and soon the wolf banner of Bebbanburg must duel the wolf banner of Skoll - the War of the Wolf must be fought to its brutal, bloody end! Yet another fantastic adventure in the Saxon Stories. Towards the end of this year we'll likely see a twelfth instalment, depicting a power struggle between two strong contenders for the Saxon Crown.... |

This game is immortal. I played and optimally won it once; now I'm playing again. There must be something in here I've not seen yet. |

Regarding 'death' entries, years ago fans on FF.com were asked to choose their favourite gruesome endings! After a while the trademark final sentence, 'your adventure is over!' became somewhat over-used and ruined the effect; the penultimate sentence was much more final, for example: 'the quicksand tugs your body down to the murky depths of a slimy grave....' It could either trail off or end with a simple full stop. One of my most memorable deaths was from 'Beneath Nightmare Castle', taken captive (for a second time), and subject to a contest called 'Stonedrop' as described on entry 157. |

I almost always favour a '...' for my death paragraphs and I don't think I've ever used a 'your adventure ends here' or something similar because it's blatantly obvious and kinda overused. |

Escape Neuburg Keep

Well written but feels pointless at the end. What have i achieved? |

Bad Moon Rising
|
with all the howling and the snarling in the intro, it seemed to be some kind of werewolf story, but the main character is a hobbit or midget? its ok as a adventure but the who is who and what races they are seemed a bit confusing? |

'Battle Scars' is the biography of Jason Fox, perhaps best known to many of us as one of four instructors from reality/challenge TV series 'Who Dares Wins'. In 'Battle Scars', he describes action-packed episodes from his time during special forces operations in war-torn countries. However, this is only one side of the story: Jason's own private war with the symptoms of PTSD, battling depression, self-doubt, a loss of purpose for even life itself, and desperately searching for answers to end the darkness, a way out, a new life - it all makes for a grim yet very informative and recommendable read for those likewise struggling with mental health issues or to stir up awareness amongst those who do not and dispel the stigma often attached. The writing is itself so immersive and easy to digest, often pulling at heartstrings of readers with even an ounce of empathy. Rest assured, throughout the narrative Jason includes a little tongue-in-cheek humour and respectable worldly attitude to help relieve the pressure of what would normally be a difficult subject to read about. A book worthy of the Club and written by one of the UK's famous special forces veterans - by whose admission that anyone can suffer with mental health problems but, more importantly, with the correct tailored therapy and some commitment that there is light at the end of the tunnel. A great read that hopefully should one day be on bookshelves everywhere. |

Tales From The Bird Islands Development
|
Ah, sad times... it was a good concept, and tbf a surprisingly large number of islands got made in the end.
Would probably ended up writing more for it myself, but I've gotten distracted by other geeky hobbies (RPG's, to be precise). Don't suppose anyone here saw they brought out some new versions of the old FF's? They also created a new one, "The Gates of Death", which was a lot of fun. |

Got a lot further than I have previously but the combination of the baddu beetle followed by the skurasha did for me |
