What's New At G-POP.net:
Among the Walking Wounded: Soldiers, Survival and PTSD - Melissa Minners reviews a book about soldiers who suffer PTSD.
Excerpt: "Colonel John Conrad was a soldier in the Canadian Regular Army for many years before his life was turned upside down. Sure, his family went long periods without him, but his career was one of service to his country and they dealt with the deployments, even at times of war. Conrad never had trouble with his deployments before, but returning from a tour in Afghanistan, he discovered that he couldn’t get back to normal life. He had become one of the walking wounded..."
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the Guy Ritchie interpretation of the legend of King Arthur.
Excerpt: "...Though the score of this film contains the expected Celtic air, there is a more modern feel…a more primal feel…featuring heavy percussion, distorted yells and breathing, sawing of strings, finger cymbals and more..."
Star Wars: Ahsoka - Melissa Minners reviews a book that bridges the gap in the storyline of Ahsoka Tano from The Clone Wars to Star Wars: Rebels.
Excerpt: "When I heard that a book would be written to continue the adventures of Anakin Skywalker’s former Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, I was ecstatic. I really liked watching the character they created for The Clone Wars animated series grow and wished I knew more about what happened after she left the Jedi. When Star Wars: Ahsoka was released, I knew I had to have it..."
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the latest movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Excerpt: "...The musical score is orchestral and what you would expect from a seafaring score, featuring heavy percussion, horns, strings and a touch of Celtic flavor. There is a sense of adventure in most of the tracks and every now and then, Zanelli borrows from Hans Zimmer’s heroic sounding main theme..."
Birds of Prey: Gabby and Dinah: Part 2 - A Birds of Prey fanfic by Melissa Minners.
Excerpt: "...It should be noted that all of the characters and many of the locales in this fan fiction are not mine. They are owned by The WB. This fan fiction is somewhat of an homage to the series, though I have used a little liberty here with events. The story takes place during the Birds of Prey television series and continues through my other fanfics which can be found here. I hope you enjoy..."
Their Finest - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a movie about a woman chosen to write a script for a film to boost spirits in Britain during WWII.
Excerpt: "...For Their Finest, Rachel Portman used an orchestral sound. The first track, Catrin Goes to The Ministry, features the main character’s theme, an orchestral track dominated by flutes and strings. The theme’s music represents the exuberance of youth and naiveté and can be glimpsed in bits and pieces throughout the soundtrack..."
