“The Stones of Evil” is an entertaining adventure novel about the building of Stone Henge and the evil man who masterminds it.

I was hooked from the first page. Rarely is there a dull moment in this cleverly worked-out plot; however, I found the ending somewhat flat. I won’t give any specifics away but will say it proved anti-climactic.

On the most part, though, this is an excellent read.

pictorial history of fighter aircraft, heavy on the British planes and WW1. Mostly about manufacturing and design, not much analysis or anecdotal stuff.
