WHO’S DONE WHAT
REALCLASSIC greets 2019 with Rowena Hoseason and Frank Westworth of The Cosmic Bike Co Ltd trembling in anticipation at what another new year might deliver. This month’s magazine was designed by Mike Baumber (before he left the building), Libby Fincham and Kelvin Clements; thanks for all your efforts on RC this year, folks!

THIS MONTH we’ve been reading THE WHISPERER by Karin Fossum (quirky Nordic noir); RED SNOW by Will Dean (ripping Scandi crime in frozen Sweden); SCRUBLANDS by Chris Hammer (superb hardboiled crime from Australia); and the last three books in The Expanse series, as well as sundry novellas in the same worlds. One of us is plainly obsessed: NEMESIS GAMES, BABYLON’S ASHES, PERSEPOLIS RISING, all by James SA Corey and all good old science fiction – with actual science!
MEANWHILE AT THE MOVIES we think that FORSAKEN is probably the best western ever, not least because it stars both Donald and Kiefer, but APPALOOSA comes a close second (partly because it stars Viggo and Ed). If you like true space adventure then give SALYUT-7 a whirl; way better than First Man. And the end of GRIMM is nigh! What next? Preacher, maybe?
