More About the Author

I'll tell you now, there's some truth to Jack Nicholson's character in The Shining, so it's probably a good thing that I'm really not a tetchy, alcoholic git. I haven't slept with any ghosts yet either, but hey, never say never. I'm English - with a selection of crunchy European bits - but I've been wandering the world for a few years, for a variety of reasons. At the moment, I'm back living in London.

I suspect I'd feel blind if my intuition ever turned off, and I pride myself on remaining open-minded and kind despite everything. I do have a dark streak - I think it's a fairly common side effect of being reasonably intelligent and well informed - but it's well under control, and there isn't a malicious bone in my body. Which is nice.

When I'm not writing, I like to keep myself amused by exploring, reading, swimming, spending time with friends, watching movies and gigs, gazing at the stars/stormy seas/fires/woodlands/ancient places/&c, and occasionally hacking up the odd pixellated monster or some such. I know Net Fu.

I tend to have all sorts of random questions on my mind. Today, these include:
- Why doesn't Dubai build an underground city complex, given the summer heat out there, and the fact they're building just about everything else? Or if not an Underside, then how about a new Wonder of the World designed to last five thousand years -- a Colossus, say, or a mighty Labyrinth?
- If reincarnation were true, would we need to live our lives in sequential order, or could souls hop around in time?
- How did Staff Sergeant Max Fightmaster get such an insanely butch name, and can he live up to it?
- What sort of society would live in a wondrous crystal city powered by the sacrifice of unwilling victims?

In general, I'm interested in just about everything, with the possible exceptions of celebrities and car engines. I've been lucky enough to have some rather strange experiences over the years, which I cherish. Perhaps it's something to do with being a lapsed Anthropologist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hunter Apocrypha, October 18, 2000

This review is from: *OP Hunter: Apocrypha (Hunter: The Reckoning) (Paperback)

For those of you who play any White Wolf role playing games this source book is a must. In it the writer reveals both where the Hunters gain thier powers and where the metaplot is going in all of the World of Darkness games.

I was impressed with both the symbols used to describe the hunters mission and the powers they are granted. The most revealing thing that this book gives us is what happens when the Hunters overstep thier bounds and revel in thier power.

3.0 out of 5 stars Apocrypha Now, March 29, 2002

By 

Timothy Freeby (Federal Way, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: *OP Hunter: Apocrypha (Hunter: The Reckoning) (Paperback)

Well, I enjoyed reading it... but the deliberate use of a raving psycho and his psuedo intellectual fan boy to deliver these revelations made it less valuable. An average Hunter would probably want to hunt this guy down not for supernatural reasons but because he is clearly mental and a danger to society. The psychotic ramblings aside the book laid out some interesting theories, and some connections to the Exalted Gameline world which are cool. All in all, it was no Book of Nod.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth The Effort, October 14, 2004

By 

Lenny Caron (Southgate, Michigan United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: *OP Hunter: Apocrypha (Hunter: The Reckoning) (Paperback)

This book, while keeping with the storyline of Hunter, is written in such a way as that by the time your able to decipher what the author is trying to say, its simply not worth the effort.

i can't really see the point of this book. It has information that the Hunter-Creed books explain in greater detail and in easier-to-understand terms.

As it is, the author who wrote this book (or, atleast the point of view that it was supposed to be written in) was insane, or was at least considered insane.

So, if you want to read a book written by someone who is insane, this would be a good place to start.
