I'll post more when the details appear.
I've probably read about 8 or so of his books and have a mixed view of them. I'd probably say a couple were a complete waste of my spare time, tow more were middle of the road , two of them good and two of them I really, really enjoyed.
One of them was the one about the press (was it called "The Truth?) and the other was the latest one I read "Interesting Times" which I really liked.
Third best for me would be the parady of war, where they went to war over what they thought was an unclaimed island for no better reason than that the fucking thing was there
Anyway, I digress
