Berlin 1945 The downfall - Anthony Beevor

Excellent historical source covering the final collapse of German forces on the Eastern front in 1945. This is actually the sequel to the Stalingrad book, I should have read that one first, but this is a great book in it's own right.

Fortress of Grey Ice - JV Jones

The sequel to Cavern of Black Ice. This series started well with interesting, gritty characters and a complex world, but I am not quiet sure where the author is taking these books, and will reserve judgement untill the last book in the triology comes out.

These books ocupy the same world as the authors' "Bakers Boy" trilogy, which were excellent books, with a consistant background and a unique and clever approach to magic. It is refreshing to come across a book provides a framework for magic use in a world occupied by non-magic users without making magic users inconsistant.
