Get both. I preferred this to Tels latest book but if you like books definitely worth getting both

have you red nashys book? demon eye or something, any good?

Whys daves latest book not as good then - just a case of the old days make better stories or just a bit more formulaic?

I'm not a fan of Nash (the man or the brand) so not read that book. The biggest issue with Laney and Tels latest books is that most of it has been covered in videos or magazines. I prefer the way Dave Lane writes which is why I preferred his book to Tels. There are definitely other books out there that are better such as Forces of Nature, a book that really surprised me as to how much I enjoyed it (I read that immediately after reading Through the Mist and enjoyed it so much more)

cheers, always have a book on the go - trouble with carp books is they can be quite expensive so nice to have a few to go at.

wraysbury chronicles turned up this morning so will keep me going a week or so
