One thought on “Those Tom Baker / Lalla Ward computer advertisements”
I am very fond of the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn – they are well written, well characterised and much more interesting than the source films.
I also very much enjoyed the Codex Alera books by Jim Butcher; I came to them after the first 8 or so “Harry Dresden” books, but I think his worldbuilding, plotting and writing are better in the Codex Alera (though there is an irritating thing where only the bad/morally ambiguous characters portray open unembarrassed enjoyment of sex and the ‘good guys’ are all coy about it). I found the viewpoint characters mostly less irritating than Harry, anyway.
