Riveted

Meljean Brook, “The New York Times” bestselling author of “The Iron Duke” and “Heart of Steel” returns to the Iron Seas with a riveting new adventure of steampunk and passionate romance…A century after a devastating volcanic eruption forced Iceland’s inhabitants to abandon its shores, the island is enshrouded in legend. Fishermen tell tales of giant trolls guarding the land, and of seductive witches who steal men’s hearts. But the truth behind the legends is mechanical, not magic – and the mystery of the island a matter of life and death for a community of women who once spilled noble blood to secure their freedom. Five years ago, Annika unwittingly endangered that secret, but her sister Kalla took the blame and was exiled. Now Annika serves on the airship Phateon, flying from port to port in search of her sister, and longing to return home …but that home is threatened when expedition leader David Kentewess comes aboard. Determined to solve the mystery of his own origin, David will stop at nothing to expose Annika’s secrets.But when disaster strikes, leaving David and Annika stranded on a glacier and pursued by a madman, their very survival depends on keeping the heat rising between them – and generating lots of steam…”Riveted” by Meljean Brook is steampunk romance at its very best …and steamiest. Praise for Meljean Brook: “A stunning blend of steampunk setting and poignant romance – smart, sexy, breathtaking, and downright addicting”. (Ilona Andrews). “Meljean Brook has brilliantly defined the new genre of steampunk romance”. (Jayne Ann Krentz). Meljean Brook lives in Oregon with her family. She is the author of the “Iron Seas “steampunk series, which include “The Iron Duke” and “Heart of Steel”, and are also published by Penguin.

T3 Solar Robot Kit

Posted by Notcot on Jun 13, 2012 in Gadgets
T3 Solar Robot Kit

Much like our 6 in 1 Solar Powered Robot this T3 Robot harnesses the power of the sun to make your day that little bit more interesting. Unlike the rather cutesy 6 in 1 however the T3 takes a slightly more aggressive stance – once you’ve built it you can turn it into either a tank a scorpion or a standard robot (we’re not sure there’s such a thing as a standard robot but there we are). And if those three different guises aren’t enough for you then well you’re just no fun are you? What’s not to like about a solar-powered scorpion that waddles across your desk like some mechanised arthropod? That’s right – nothing. Being a solar-powered robot or tank or scorpion the T3 requires no batteries whatsoever just a healthy glare of sunshine. Or given the notoriety of our island’s native climate a functioning light bulb. It’s a great little gizmo for keeping on your desk and even better for kids who take an interest how things work. Piecing the thing together in the first place is a rewarding task to complete and once that’s finished the fun really begins. Ingenious design and an eco-friendly message – what could be better for kids and grown-ups alike?

The Wicker Man

Posted by Notcot on May 7, 2010 in Cult Film

Average Rating: 4.5 / 5 (96 Reviews)

Amazon.co.uk Review
It must be stressed that despite the fact that it was produced in 1973 and stars both Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland, The Wicker Man is not a Hammer Horror film. There is no blood, very little gore and the titular Wicker Man is not a monster made out of sticks that runs around killing people by weaving them into raffia work. Edward Woodward plays Sergeant Howie, a virginal, Christian policeman sent from the Scottish mainland to investigate the disappearance of young girl on the remote island of Summer Isle. The intelligent script by Anthony Schaffer, who also wrote the detective mystery Sleuth (a film with which The Wicker Man shares many traits), derives its horror from the increasing isolation, confusion and humiliation experienced by the naïve Howie as he encounters the island community’s hostility and sexual pagan rituals, manifested most immediately in the enthusiastic advances of local landlord’s daughter Willow (Britt Ekland). Howie’s intriguing search, made all the more authentic by the film’s atmospheric locations and folkish soundtrack, gradually takes us deeper and deeper into the bizarre pagan community living under the guidance of the charming Laird of Summer Isle (Lee, minus fangs) as the film builds to a terrifying climax with a twist to rival that of The Sixth Sense or Fight Club. –Paul Philpott
