Agent Palmer

Horse Under Water was the second book published by author Len Deighton, the first being his spy novel debut with “The IPCRESS File.” It continued, what would become a, series of four novels about an unnamed spy or secret agent, who in the film adaptations was named Harry Palmer and portrayed by Michael Caine.

I just finished reading The Kronos Interference by Edward Miller and J.B. Manas and it was great!

The cover touts it as “Crichton meets Hitchcock,” and it lives up to that billing and them sum. It is a fantastical look at time travel, and its implications, while weaving a plot of intrigue that is at times scary and scientifically brilliant, while creating amazing historical anomalies.

Marvel is firing on all cylinders, they really are. Guardians of the Galaxy is a wonderful film and a brilliant continuation of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Galilee by Clive Barker is a departure from what most people know of his work; horror. This is a fantastical book. It’s a book about a book, a story about a story. The book is about Maddox putting to paper the histories of his family, the Barbarossas. But to do that he must also tell the story of the Gearys and the title character, Galilee, is the thread that binds these two families together.

On March 18, 1965, The IPCRESS File was released to film audiences, just three years after Len Deighton’s book of the same name was published. It was directed by Sidney J. Furie and starred a then-unknown British actor named Michael Caine.
