It's a book called Confessor by Terry Goodkind. Got the hardback for £1.99 from the local bookshop. I was wrong, it's actually book 12 of something called The Sword of Truth. Had I known I would have tried book 1 first, whatever that is.

I thought it might be either Sword or Truth or Wheel of Time.
I am actually reading the first book in the Sword of Truth series now (for the second time). Excellent series! First book is Wizards First Rule.

Indeed a very good serie. Also read it. Liked the tvserie Legend of the Seeker very much, which followed the books (a bit).

Get down to Waterstones lads :wink:

3 for the price of 2 on all SF and Fiction.

Got;

Greybeard - Brian Aldiss
A Dark Matter - Peter Straub
The Edinburgh Dead - Brian Ruckley ( Thought this was about Hearts supporters :wink: but turns out its grizzly murders in ye olde Embra 1828)


PS Saw that Wizards First Rule mentioned above. Looks very interesting.

Might well get that as I quite enjoyed Confessor. Even if I hadn't got a clue what was going on.

Post Apocalyptic Combat SF.

Not sure of it yet. Written by a local writer with Chapter 1 set 10 miles down the road from me. Which is really why I bought it :wink:

Might look out that series then. Sounds interesting.

It was originally written a few years back but was updated recently. I thought if anyone knows the Pink Floyd story it has to be Nick Mason.
