review 1: This was a fun romp by a great sci-fi writer. She was taken from us much too soon. This book is related to Baker's Company series, but not really a sequel. It centers on the female "leg" of the GSS - a house of ill-repute called Nell Gwynne's. But...this is not your ordinary ho...

review 1: The Hotel Under the Sand is a charming, often funny book, with langauge very much targeted for grade school children. Because I'd read comparison of this novel to Terry Prachett's wonderful Nation, I was expecting a story with depth and resonance but in this is not the case. Ho...

review 1: I immediately picked this up after finishing The Anvil of the World as it is a prequel that details the history of The Master of the Mountain and The Saint of the World. Though it wasn't as funny or tongue in cheek as The Anvil of the World, I still enjoyed this novel. I was es...

review 1: Really loved this, set in the same world as The Anvil of the World and The House of the Stag, which I also adored. It is perfectly dreadful that I have now read all that has or will be written by Kage Baker in this universe. At least in the form of novels.You know what would conv...

review 1: I hadn't read any of Kage Baker's books before so this was a pleasant little surprise. It's about the "ladies" of Nell Gwynne's, prostitutes who also deal in information gathering for the Gentlemen's Speculative Society. Each year they go on holiday and this year they discover ...
