Winner of the Special Jury Award in the 2011 Novel Competition by Schibsted Forlag, and now finally available in English: Talos Rising is the first of nine novels about The Last Navigator: An exciting journey through space and time, for all readers from young adults and up, the books span millennia of human exploration and survival through one universe and into the next.

Fast spaceships, enigmatic aliens, weird artifacts, brutal reality shows and gladiator games, humanity’s transition to the future is an interesting one. From old Earth where the presidential clones reign with an iron fist, to a war ravaged Mars, most people would want to reach out to the stars. However, our new allies, the Draconians, warn about a hidden danger out there: A ...more

2024

2024 was a weird year. I remember it starting out cold, with ice covering the inner fjord, lots of smoke on the water and snow on the ground, lots of snow. In the middle of January it was a literal blizzard raging outside. Then at the end of the same month, the store I’m working at closed down for a complete refit.

Erik Martenson liked Ken Jensen's review of Top of The Heap (Cool and Lam #13): "For the record, I give this bok 2.5 stars. It’s a chaotic novel with too many characters and too many crimes, making it difficult to pay attention to it all."

Erik Martenson liked Ken Jensen's review of The Mystery of Claw Mountain (The Mystery Series #4): "An entertaining YA novel. Unfortunately, it’s full of plot holes and a complete lack of logic. Then again, it’s a children’s book, so what does it matter that the children talk loudly when they are in danger of being discovered? I won’t be buying more" Read more of this review »

Erik Martenson liked Ken Jensen's review of White Knight/Black Swan: "Originally published under the pseudonym Ross Harding in order to not confuse his loyal fantasy fans, White Knight/Black Swan was the only David Gemmell novel not to become an instant bestseller. He wanted to try out a new genre. It was not a success" Read more of this review »

Erik Martenson liked Ken Jensen's review of The Children's Illustrated Bible (DK Bibles and Bible Guides): "The Children’s Illustrated Bible is an amazing retelling of some of the most important and dearest stories from the Bible. I just finished reading it to my six-year-old son, who loved it."

Flawed Masterpiece RR is a gritty crime novel, set to London during turbulent times. It was never released, at least not until after the author’s death. While still flawed, it’s tons better than White Knight/Black Swan. I would like to give the st ...more
