Not one to let being banged up in Sick Bay stop her, Max has had a brilliant idea. But she needs Markham to execute it on her behalf. The subject of this cunning plan is Peterson, struggling with another bereavement and not doing very well. What's needed to get him through it is sympathy, sensitivity, tact and understanding. Step forward Mr Markham, for whom sympathy, sensitivity, etc., are things that happen to other people. Combine a fanatic from R&D, a head of Security with his own problems, a steam-pump, two historians who can't even be in the same room as each other, some fractious Protestants and a large body of very dirty water. Told in Markham's own words, this is the story of an intervention – St Mary's style. Views: 12

Andrzej Sapkowski's seventh Witcher book,The Lady of the Lake is perhaps the best book in the series after the two introductory volumes of short stories, The Last Wish andThe Sword of Destiny. It not only ties together the strands related to Geralt and Yennefer's search for Ciri (and Ciri's fate after her disappearance through the portal at the Swallow's Tower), but also the "background" events (such as the war with Nilfgaard, the guerrilla warfare waged by the Squirrels, the Lodge of the Sorceresses, etc.) are also resolved in neat and yet at times surprising fashions.This has been released as two volumes, Lady of the Lake Volume 1 and Lady of the Lake volume 2 in some countries.
