Half a Crown
Jo Walton

Tor Books, 2008

In 1941 the European war ended in the Farthing Peace, a rapprochement between Britain and Nazi Germany. The balls and banquets of Britain’s upper class never faltered, while British ships ferried “undesirables” across the Channel to board the cattle cars headed east. Peter Carmichael is commander of the Watch, Britain’s distinctly British secret police. It’s his job to warn the Prime Minister of treason, to arrest ...

An amazing King Arthur Tale
This book is a beautiful remake of the Arthurian legend set in a fantasy world. It's all the heroism of the classic tale without the added sorrow of betrayal and pain; her follow-up book and others set in this world are well worth your time - absolutely fantastic.

Tooth and Claw

Jo Walton

Tor Fantasy, 2004

Immensely enjoyable, very witty, retelling of Trollope in draconic terms
Tooth and Claw is something quite different to Jo Walton's first three novels -- it is a fantasy set in a world in which dragons are real. Its plot is based on Anthony Trollope -- specifically Framley Parsonage. With the details of dragon physiology and culture cleverly molded to fit the Trollopian view of Victorian England. One lack in Walton's first novels is wit, and any sense of ...

The Dying of the Light (WFRP/Warhammer Fantasy Role-Play)

Hogshead Publishing, Ltd., 1995

Gripping Adventure - loses coherency in the last bit...
I Gm for two different gaming groups and have run this with both now (and played it once as a player - my introduction into WFRP). Playing the adventure, I thought it was exciting and intriguing - things are not handed to players, and they really have to work to put the pieces together. However, my GM modified the adventure a fair amount (I realized once I started to run it myself), and I have ...

Ha'penny

Jo Walton

Tor Books, 2008

Challenging and chilling alternate history.
I read a lot of junk; I'll admit it. But every once and awhile, I have to read something that causes me to think. Ha'penny fits this category. A sequel to Farthing, this alternate history continues that fine book's exploration of what may have happened if the U.S. did NOT help Great Britain during WWII. Profoundly chilling, beautifully written--and challenging, Ha'Penny is a subtle and personal ...

The Prize in the Game (Sulien)

Tor Fantasy, 2004

Gods and the curses that they bring
The Prize in the Game is a short novel that takes place in the world of Walton's The King's Peace and The King's Name. It gives a little history on a few of the characters, and takes place before the other two books, with events in this one leading up to the characters' entrances in The King's Peace. It's a wonderfully done piece, with not a word wasted. At 253 pages, it is certainly a quick ...

The King's Name (The King's Peace, Book 2)

Tor Books, 2001

Keeping the peace
The King's Name is another excellent novel by Jo Walton. This novel, sequel to The King's Peace, takes all of the strengths of its predecessor and leaves most of the weaknesses behind. It's a worthy addition to any fantasy fan's bookshelf. I thought that this book was marvelous. Walton's characterization is wonderful, with the many different people populating this book having enough ...

Farthing

Jo Walton

Tor Books, 2007

Powerful and affecting morality tale
I was deeply affected by this book and its successor, Ha'Penny. As other reviewers have pointed out, these books make use of both the "alternate history" and "murder mystery" conventions. It would, however, be a mistake to describe this book as either a "murder mystery" or "alternate history", just as it would be mistaken to describe George Orwell's 1984 as "a science fiction novel". Jo ...

GURPS Celtic Myth

1 review
Ken Walton

Steve Jackson Games, 2000

One of the first decent RPGs for playing in Celtic Cultures
The standard of roleplaying products based in a Celtic background has been poor at best. The majority have been either sloppily written and/or have missed the point entirely, opting for half-baked New Age speculation. However, Ken and Jo Walton have come through with GURPS Celtic Myth. The setting mainly concerns its self with the British Isles, and floats in that wondeful Celtic Dreamtime ...
