The Horse with My Name - Colin Bateman

Orpheus Rising - Colin Bateman

Thankfully not all authors fail here, some reinvigorate themselves and once more show the world their talent. I am glad to say that with Orpheus Rising Colin Bateman just may have reinvented himself as a more mature and intelligent author. Michael Ryan is the author of Space Coast a sensation that rocked the US ten years ago. The book tells the story of a small town and it was based on Michael s real life. However, in the early days of the book being published a tragedy shook Michael s life when his wife, Claire, was shot dead during a bank robbery.

I Predict a Riot - Colin Bateman

thinking. Quite often, a crime novel will go through the basics of someone s thought, but leaves out the comedy aspect as it doesn t fit in with the book. Bateman, by giving us this darkly funny side, provides us with an overly long book that could have gone on for hours and kept me happy.

It sets the scene with all the characters other than Mallow and Harrison, and mentions hardly ...

happy to visit. The days of random acts of violence are over and access to its beautiful countryside is now safer than ever, or is it? According to Colin Bateman the troubles may have ended, but this does not mean that there is any shortage of people willing to break a few kneecaps, especially if they make a little money doing it. According to I Predict a Riot people are not visiting the Giants Causeway or other areas of natural beauty in Northern Ireland, but areas made famous for riots and crime. Americans can travel all over Europe and see beautiful sites, but there are not many places that have the danger and passion of Belfast. With this in mind should ...
