World War: In the Balance

In late 1941, while the Earth is torn apart by World War II, a fleet of vessels from an alien planet arrive to conquer the world. Both sides are taken by surprise, as humans must make uneasy alliances and the aliens, who call themselves the Race, discover that their enemy is much more fierce and technologically advanced than expected.

Just finished this the first of 4 books in the World War Tetralogy and am now a confirmed Harry Turtledove fan.
I love the interplay of characters and multi-story lines.

Harry writes all his books along alternative history lines along the 'what-if' premise. Having read SSGB by Len Deighton and Fatherland by Robert Harris I have always liked books that give a different slant to World War 2, incidently I recommend both these books as well.

Directed by James Cameron, Avatar is an emotional journey of redemption and revolution.

Noting that Bernard Cribbins stars in the new Dr Who series as Wilfred Mott, grandfather of Donna Noble.

It will be ironic if he is involved in the episode with the Daleks this series, as Bernard played Tom Campbell, a police officer, who is embroiled with the doctor fighting the Daleks in the movie 'Daleks-Invasion Earth 2150'

Battlestar Galactica returns next week on SKY for it's final series with a lot of questions to be answered. Rumours abound that this series will be awesome. If you haven't seen the series then give it a go, as it is nothing like the 70's series of the same name.
