Marc Laidlaw

Has anyone here read any of Laidlaw's previous work? Valve's site lists a couple of his books (Dad's Nuke and The 37th Mandala). I've never seen either in any bookstores. Also, if I remember correctly, at the start of HL1 The 37th Mandala is sitting in Gordon's locker. Are these books any good?

That is because he works for Valve and he helped write and design Half Life.

Yes, I realize he works at Valve. That's why I posted this in a Half-Life forum. I was just wondering if his previous work is any good.

I have actually bought The 37th mandala after seeing it in gorden's locker. It is a pretty good book, scarry and strange,kinda like halflife.
You can find marc liadlaws books in amazon.com

I've also read the 37th Mandala. Pretty good, but I wouldn't read it again. I've also got the Third Force, but I lost interest after a few chapters and didn't pick it up again.
