[books 2014] London Falling (again)
16. London Falling by Paul Cornell
This month's book club selection. I liked it so much the first time I read it again. I wanted to see if it still works when you know [spoiler].
The answer is yes, it does. Found things that I missed the first time.
And realised right towards the end why I like it - it's about what happens when scary shit happens to smart people rather than the horror story trope of people behaving stupidly. Even when they make wrong moves here it's made from a position of scientific enquiry and logical deduction.
The sequel's out on the 22nd of May. The week before the new Dresden Files. I may be some time.
