I don´t know about you boys and girls. But i really enjoy reading a good book every now and then. And i read all kinds of books really.

But most of the time, it´s either sci-fi, horror, tech or video game related books. However, most books that i own today. Are books on video game history, Gaming and such.

So i´m pretty excited about the upcoming book about the British video game developers Gremlin Interactive (Jungle Strike, Zool 1 and 2, Loaded, Litil Divil, Motorhead).

And it´s called “A gremlin in the works“. Which seems to be a super ambitious book project (by the looks of it).

“A Gremlin in the Works” will be released sometime this summer.

The book itself is done by mr Mark James Hardisty (with the help of Ian Stewart´s pictures, screenshots and much more).

And from what i´ve been told, “A gremlin in the works” will feature a lot of “never-before-seen” pictures, stories and such.

So if you´re into British video game history (and Gremlin Interactive of course). Then keep your eyes (and ears) open for “A gremlin in the works”!

About A gremlin in the works:
“A Gremlin in the Works” charts Gremlin’s meteoric rise that would bring to life quintessential British gaming characters Monty Mole, Thing on a Spring, and Jack The Nipper in the 1980s; release ground-breaking series Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge, Premier Manager and Actua Soccer in the 1990s; and would spawn world-leading development talent that would shape an industry.

Through candid interviews, and first-hand anecdotes from legendary developers, famed business “suits” and a few long-suffering wives, the book delivers a fresh and in-depth perspective on a much-loved and unique British developer and is chock-full of never-before-seen archive material, screenshots and photographs – mostly recovered from Ian Stewart’s loft.
