The Last Day by Andrew Hunter Murray. A thriller about a UK in a world 30 years from now when the world has stopped spinning leaving one side blistering hot and the other freezing cold.
A decent read. Murray is one of the QI researchers and co-host of the No Such Thing As A Fish podcast.

@JC yeah I read that after he was talking about it on one of the NSTAAF episodes, decent read, ending was a bit abrupt, guess leaving possibility of another?
I'm on book 3 of the Attila series by William Napier, really enjoying it.

I just finished reading the 10 Malazan books back to back.
Fuck what a mission. Those are some big ass novels
Overall story is still epic, and made more sense when you knew the whole arc. But it's too long. I reckon you could have cut a heap of shit and made it 8 books. A couple of them really drag.
Also it's infuriating how many story threads that used to important pretty much just disappear. And the ending is pretty frikken abrupt.
Still an amazing piece of work

@mariner4life There was a real long wait between books somewhere in the series about 12 years ago and I lost interest. I bought the next one but couldn't summon the energy to pick up all the threads again. Its still sitting on a bookcase unread. This is a recurring theme with fantasy series for me.
Maybe you'll inspire me start again. You've certainly put in an admirable effort. But probably not.
