Dear reader (for there is only one)
I am sorry for the lack of updates recently regarding "Seven Ancient Wonders", though I am only sorry that you do not share my pain. I have been very busy at work, due to it being the Summer holidays, and thus have been unable to share the horrors of Riley.
I have found somebody worse.
He will appear at some point in the future, me having found his books in a charity shop and picking them up on a whim, being somehow drawn to them, like a dark magnet of ineptitude...
The one I picked up is part 5 (FIVE!) in a series of 12 (TWELVE!) novels thus far. Whilst Riley will keep his books self contained, with arcs and some sort of semblance of internal logic (that logic being action movie parodies), this man does not. They read like stuff happening because he wants it to, with no real rhyme or reason to it and stars a collaboration of thinly sketched caricatures with more ridiculous names than Riley's, if that were possible, who embark upon Darren Brown-esque shenanigans, without the grand set-pieces and sheer insanity of Riley's works. They take themselves too seriously too, which is always a bad thing.
I will be busy for a while, so if there are no updates for a while, then you know why.
Again, my apologies.
As compensation, here are hints of what is to come:
1. Marshall Judah, the least ridiculous antagonist in the Jack West series (seriously). I also apologise in advance for the jokes I make.
2. Connections to the Schofield universe.
3. BETRAYAL!
4. A piece of transportation so ridiculous that it defies even Riley's works, transcends stupidity and becomes incredible.
5. BETRAYALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
6. Guantanamo Bay.
7. Jack West's past.
8. Betrayal.
