Save power kit : FLIR TG165-X Spot Thermal Camera Author: Reduction Revolution Publisher: Review by: Russell on: 5/09/2022 6:06:07 PM Member Rating: Great little tool for finding your hot and cold spots. We could see a few places on the drywall ceiling where the insulation had been removed by a tradie and not put back. Also good to point at your power boards and other electronics to get an idea of the waste heat they generate.
The priory of the orange tree / Samantha Shannon. Author: Shannon, Samantha, 1991-, author. Publisher: London : Bloomsbury Publishing, 2019. -- ©2019. Review by: 12489 on: 4/02/2020 7:33:02 PM Member Rating: Samantha Shannon has written this door-stop of a book which is immersive and epic. If you are a fantasy genre fan you will enjoy this well written and character laden book full of family dynasties religious wars magic the balance of fire and water and dragons. It moves from the west to the east of a fictional land while the cast of main characters queens warriors alchemists and riders share their history and attempt to stop the threat coming for them all. It has the dynasty and details of Games of Thrones without the level of violence that series invoked. It creates suspense and adventure love loss good and evil with glorious language. A truly imaginative story that draws on a past fictional history giving the feeling that this novel is part of a series but it is currently a stand alone volume. Magnificent.
The nowhere child / Christian White. Author: White, Christian, author. Publisher: South Melbourne, Victoria : Affirm Press, 2018. -- South Melbourne, Victoria : Affirm Press, 2018. -- 2018. Review by: 12489 on: 23/11/2019 12:18:38 PM Member Rating: This is a well written mystery story that begins in Australia but quickly moves to the United States. There is great symmetry between the time lines that the story flows along. The author dips in and out of information to keep the suspense high and you will make many guesses before the end. People who enjoy Jane Harper's stories would also enjoy this novel.
The nowhere child [electronic resource] / Christian White. Author: White, Christian. Publisher: [Victoria] : Affirm Press, 2018. Review by: 12489 on: 14/11/2019 6:44:40 PM Member Rating: This novel had a good pace and switched between time lines with great symmetry. A mystery that I had to finish to know what happened to the child with many a guess at the ending along the way. This book would appeal to those who like a mystery but without too many gory details. Similar in style to another Australian writer Jane Harper.
