.The Bloody White Baron

by: James Palmer

March 20, 2008
I've been fascinated by this period of Mongolian history ever since I found a musty old copy of Ossendowski's Beasts, Men and Gods in a used bookstore years ago, so I was very happy to find a new look at those times in this book. Finding sources or historical writing on this period is difficult, at least here in the US, since Outer Mongolia almost seems to be a fictitious country in itself. Fortunately, James Palmer has travelled the East and waded through the various scraps and pieces of its history and pulled together a picture of a fascinating, if horrendous, figure who stamped his mark upon the era. Ossendowski's book, while purportedly true, reads like a pulp adventure novel, and his account of Baron Ungern certainly makes a modern reader ... Read More:

.Third Player (Dyason)

by: Warren James Palmer

1996-12
With Third Player, Warren James Palmer has epitomised the ideas of successful Trilogy writing and has given us a book that ploughs on through the action at break-neck speed. For a book to hold on to the fundamental issues that made the first two books of this series so readable, and yet to introduce new elements to the story without losing any sort of coherence is quite remarkable.

Continuing the story of Moss, Myrddin et al, Third Player opens by introducing us to a third humanoid colony, struggling for survival against an alien race hell-bent on genocide and the extermination of their race. The opening chapter opens us up to the idea that there is a Galactic Superpower, conquering and pillaging the worlds it discovers - murdering ... Read More:

.The Most Beautiful Villages of the Loire (Most beautiful villages)

by: Hugh Palmer, James Bentley

2001-11
This is a beautiful book. Full of good quality photos. Very few are dull. Ive seen other books with very dull photos which obviously are old photos, but this book is delightful and a pleasure to look at. Also in this series I can recommend. MOST BEAUTIFUL VILLAGES OF PROVENCE and COUNTRY TOWNS OF PROVENCE, Also GREECE AND THE GREEK ISLANDS, and SCOTLAND Also, the books about Tuscany are good. I found the books of California and New England AND VILLALGES OF FRANCE RATHER dull and uninspiring,
