David McK (3633 KP) rated Turn Coat (The Dresden Files, #11) in Books
Aug 27, 2021
This time, Dresden must uncover who has framed Warden Morgan - formerly his chief prosecutor on the White Council - and see if he can uncover the traitor within the ranks of that body.
By the end of the novel, the world (as a whole) has become a somewhat shadier place: how do you know what the right thing to do is, when there is no clear-cut right or wrong?

An absolutely action packed Thriller of a novel I was gripped from the get go. The way Yolanda has written absolutely captivates your imagination and takes you on the journey along with the characters I round myself getting nervous at points worrying about the outcome. I will definitely be reading the other 2 books!
Absolute must read
David McK (3633 KP) rated Sharpe's Mission (1996) in Movies
Dec 8, 2022
This, I believe, is the only Sean Bean led Sharpe made-for-TV movie NOT to be based on a Sharpe novel by Bernard Cornwell, even although it is written well enough that it very well could have been!
As with all of the Sharpe stories, you know pretty much what to expect: Sharpe is sent on a dangerous mission (here, to blow up a French ammunition supply during the closing stages of the Peninsular War), and ends up fighting just as much against those in authority on his own side as against the French ...
David McK (3633 KP) rated BattleTech Legends: Mercenary's Star (Gray Death trilogy #2) in Books
Sep 7, 2025
I do have to wonder, though, why this one is so titled when the vast bulk of the novel has little to no connection at all to the 'Mercenary's Star' of the title, other than that is where the Gray Death legion are contacted for their latest job!
Anyway, those who are into the whole BattleTech universe will get more out of this than those who are not - personally, I'm a little m'eh on the whole setting.
David McK (3633 KP) rated King Solomon's Mines in TV
Nov 9, 2025
It's been a while since I read the source novel, so I'm sure this takes more than a few liberties, however there are still elements that I remember from said source.
Basically, the entire thing feels Indiana Jones lite.
And that's not just because Alison Doody was one of the main characters in the Last Crusade.
