|author=John Sandford
|title=Gathering Prey
|rating=4
|genre=Crime
|summary=Any fan of a long running series will dread the book that falls off the cliff. This is the story that just does not make sense, or is so reminiscent of previous outings that it may as well not exist. With 24 titles already written about Lucas Davenport, the ''Prey'' series by John Sandford is overdue this, but will ''Gathering Prey'' be the moment that the maverick cop Davenport becomes a shadow of his former self?

|author=Jodi Picoult
|summary=An intellectual property no longer dies with the author. After a certain period the copyright is lifted so that an independent author can tackle the characters, hence the proliferation of Sherlock Holmes books. For many fans of the original, these books feel like cover versions and are best avoided. It is only when the estate of the author gets involved that their interest is piqued. H. G. Wells' ''The War of the Worlds'' left enough of a door open to explore further and when you hire as an experienced a science fiction author as Stephen Baxter to pick up the official story, it may just be worth a read.
