DNF December Review Blitz - Day 2: I’m sharing my thoughts on some book series that I have marked as incomplete as I have never finished the first novel in the series. Reviewed by Cameron WoodheadĬait Spiker brings predatory comic intent to the production of In The Crocodile. We can only wish more new Australian works had access to the same craft, talent and onstage body count. As The Mousetrap shows, ensemble theatre is something we do terrifically well when the chance arises. Design and costume evoke an effortless period atmosphere, and the movement and blocking make the show look like a drawing room painting, or a Cluedo board, come to life.Īnother reason to see it, not that you need one, is that the luxury of an eight-strong cast is rare on the (chronically underfunded) Australian theatre scene. Instead, we get a masterclass in unselfish acting, full of restrained comedic touches that don’t undercut the submerged drama behind the mystery.ĭelivery, timing and English accents are near-perfect. There’s an impressive list of musical theatre and comedy stars – among them Gerry Connolly, Anna O’Byrne, Alex Rathgeber and Laurence Boxhall – but no star turns in sight. Anna O’Byrne and Alex Rathgeber appear in The Mousetrap, a masterpiece of both comedy and drama. Bookshelves is not for downloading or buying books directly.

Unfortunately Thuvia is promised to Kulan Tith, Jeddak of Kaol. This love was foreshadowed at the end of the previous novel. Plot summary Ĭarthoris is madly in love with Thuvia. It does however have some inventive and original ideas, including an autopilot and collision detection device for Martian fliers, and the creation of the Lotharians, a race of ancient Martians who have become adept at telepathic projection, able to create imaginary warriors that can kill, and sustain themselves through thought alone. This time John Carter's son Carthoris is implicated. Its plot devices are similar to the previous Martian novels, involving the kidnapping of a Martian princess. Helium and Ptarth are both prominent Barsoomian city state/empires, and both Carthoris and Thuvia were secondary characters in the previous two novels. In this novel the focus shifts from John Carter, Warlord of Mars, and Dejah Thoris of Helium, protagonists of the first three books in the series, to their son, Carthoris, prince of Helium, and Thuvia, princess of Ptarth.
