![]() ![]() ![]() ‘Under the Never Sky’ is about a girl, Aria, who has always lived in Reverie, a city encased inside a dome to protect the citizens from the wasteland outside. While I wasn’t completely convinced by ‘Under the Never Sky’ (the 4 stars I gave it were probably rather generous), I absolutely adored ‘Through the Ever Night’, and the third and final instalment did not disappoint either.Īs ‘Into the Still Blue’ is book three, it’s probably worth making giving a little synopsis of the first book, for anyone reading this who has not started this series. ![]() I’ve finished a series already! In a year where I want to focus on completing some of those series that I have left unfinished, I wanted the first trilogy I complete in 2015 to be the ‘Under the Never Sky’ trilogy by Veronica Rossi, and I have to say that whilst I am glad to have it done, I am very sad to leave this world behind. ![]()

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author P. ![]() ![]() ![]() Deteriorating opinions of Cameron will therefore have a bigger impact on the Conservatives’ vote share than worsening views of Miliband would have on Labour’s. Many people supported the Conservatives because of David Cameron, while many people supported Labour despite Ed Miliband. His biggest positive – a hope he would stand up for ordinary people – reflected his party’s brand rather than him. Miliband seemed out of his depth, lucky to have won the leadership against his better-qualified brother. Views of Cameron were the main factor in drawing people to the Tories – more important than policies, or negative views about Miliband or Labour. These characteristics outweighed a faint impression of smugness, arrogance or ruthlessness. ![]() In my research on the three leaders last year, only Cameron served as a net attractor of voters to his party. Nevertheless, the latest figures are causing angst in Tory circles.Ĭameron is the Conservatives’ biggest asset. No survey has put Miliband ahead on the question of who would make the best prime minister. Last weekend YouGov found his net satisfaction rating – the number thinking he is doing well, minus the (rather greater) number who think he is doing badly – is the same as Ed Miliband’s. David Cameron is falling in voters’ estimation. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The volume continues Hancock’s quest to find a lost civilization of high technology that he believes vanished during the Ice Age and was remembered only in a universal myth of the Great Flood. Hancock’s new book, Magicians of the Gods (2015), is a direct sequel to Fingerprints, and a stepsibling to its earlier sequels, such as Heaven’s Mirror (1998) and Underworld (2002). Hancock updated Donnelly with fresher falsehoods and cleverly avoided the name “Atlantis” in a failed bid for mainstream credibility. ![]() In 1995, he channeled Ignatius Donnelly and essentially rewrote Donnelly’s Atlantis: The Antediluvian World (1882) as Fingerprints of the Gods (1995), the book on which he made his reputation. He began his fringe history career recreating Indiana Jones’s search for the Ark of the Covenant in The Sign and the Seal (1991), moved now to Ethiopia with more than a hint of Alan Quartermain’s hunt for King Solomon’s Mines, and a dash of the flair for propaganda he brought to his previous job working (not coincidentally) for Ethiopia’s dictator. The Empire may be gone, but Hancock’s books have some of the same imperial ambitions and ethnocentric flaws. He presents himself as a scholar-adventurer, trekking like Richard Burton to strange lands at the ends of the earth and sending back to London reports about what is going on across the Empire. There has always been a whiff of the Victorian about Graham Hancock. ![]() ![]() ![]() For example, telephone calls can really become a drain on your finances if they are not done over the internet!

To see a story telling us that making sacrifices for our loved ones is important and worthy is rather gratifying.
