edit data

About a hundred years ago, give or take, Chris blagged his way into Cambridge to read Natural Sciences and Computer Science. He's spent much of his career since then in corporate life; a great deal of it in the travel industry. He's an MBA, with Distinction, and for over a decade he's written on emerging technologies and corporate strategy for a professional audience. He began studying martial arts when he was eight years old, to get out of piano lessons. He's still at it, and he still can't play the piano.

He lives in the Heavy Woollen District of West Yorkshire with his wife, Sue, his Parson Jack Russell terrier, Fudd, and his gravel bike.

CONCERN is his debut novel, and the beginning of a series featuring Marc Naedorf. ...more

Christopher Bentley rated a book really liked it Odyssey (Stephen Fry's Great Mythology, #4) by Stephen Fry	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
I thought Stephen Fry's Troy to be exemplary, and had no hesitation in giving it a five star rating. Odyssey is also brilliant, by any other standard, but somehow falls a little short of his previous peak, for me at least. We don't get to Odysseus him ...more

I've just re-read the first in the 'Victor the Assassin' series. I'm not, generally, a series reader, but, back in the day, this novel got me hooked to the point where a vacation wasn't a vacation without the latest Victor. So, I thought I'd give it ...more

It helps, I think, to put the I, Robot stories into historical context because (arguably with one exception) these are not stories about AI, or even about robots, as we currently experience them. The stories were written between 1940 and 1950. The Tur ...more

I was going to describe this as a very enjoyable read overall, but 'enjoyable' may be the wrong word. It was certainly a worthwhile read, though. Much of the first half of the book is given to covering a series of interconnected investigations that sl ...more

Quotes by Christopher Bentley (?)

“Your quantum computing supremo sends up a flare and three days later he and your son are killed. We have no idea why, or by whom, and I have a strong suspicion the Bratva protection racket story is horse shit. However you and Socrates choose to define justice, you haven’t had it.”
― Christopher Bentley, Concern
