The Imperial Navy Frigate ‘Emathia’ has discovered a half dead Tyranid (think Aliens but with a lot more teeth!) hive ship floating through space; such a discovery could prove invaluable to the Imperial war effort against this particular xenos threat… One boarding party has already gone missing but the prize at stake means that the Tyranid ship must be taken. Enter the Blood Angels Space Marines.
Brother Librarian Nord and Brother Sergeant Kale head up a squad of Space Marines tasked with locating the lost party and securing the Tyranid ship. However, there is more to this mission than there seems, what lies on board the alien vessel will threaten both their bodies and their very souls…

Haldeman has been one of science fiction’s brightest stars for two decades but is less renowned for his Vietnam War novels. The third, 1968, deals with a year in the life of Snake, a combat engineer in the Central Highlands just before the Tet offensive. Wounded on a patrol, he is medevac’d to the U.S. and diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. He spends the rest of the year, both in the hospital and afterward, trying to come to terms with his family, the country, the war, and especially the memory of his last patrol. Haldeman’s spare, flat prose is perfectly suited to a story containing so many tensions and so much emotion, and his ironic asides on weapons, customs, and psychiatric procedures provide not just background, but acrid commentary. A powerful novel, 1968 is worthy of careful reading, for although veterans will be instantly attuned to Haldeman’s voice, what he has to say will also repay those who bring to it only a casual knowledge of the war.

QI (Quite Interesting) Complete TV Series 1-3!

Hosted by Stephen Fry and featuring a variety of guest comediens.

QI is a panel game which believes that everything in the world is quite interesting, provided that you look at it in the right way. To quote host Stephen Fry:

“Now, the rules are simple. Scoring is my business. Points are given and points are taken away. They are taken away for answers which are both obvious and wrong, and they’re given, not so much for being correct, as for being interesting. Their level of interestingness is impartially determined by a demographically selected customer-service focus consultancy, broken down by age and sex – i.e. me. Because there is no-one more broken down by age and sex.”
Quite interesting. QI is one of those rare shows which proves not all TV is dumbing down.
The show provides you with extensive knowledge of things you never knew existed, and corrects knowledge that you always believed to be true. For example Henry VIII did not have six wives, Sweden does not have the world’s highest suicide rate and the Scottish did not invent haggis.

To be a comedy though, QI needs to be more than just interesting. What makes it such a great show is that it manages to very funny whilst imparting the facts. Much of the magic is down to Stephen Fry’s role as “Qi Master”, alongside regular “Bantermeister” (and frequent loser) Alan Davies who between them manage to give the show a wonderful, warm feeling.

The great news for fans is that QI is a twenty six year project – thus we have plenty more episodes to look forward to. During Series F, QI now moved to BBC One due to its popularity, with extended repeats (called QI XL) on BBC Two. The seventh series, Series G, will be the longest series yet as it will consist of 16 episodes.
