In this pitch-black comedy; fatal chemicals combine with ruthless ambition; biscuits; bureaucracy and moral ambiguity. Set in the near future; Britain has reinstated the death penalty. Relatives are weeping in the witness gallery; the journalist clicks her pen and the prison governor gives the thumbs up. Rapist murderer Richard Sanger is strapped to the gurney. Chamber Piece depicts a modern; British execution. How would it look? How would we feel? And what could possibly go wrong?

I learned much aBy MacboyBeen a Zeppelin fan since a kid. Always found Robert Plant an intriguing character with a lot of depth that ran deeper than the confines of Led Zeppelin. Indeed; this book covers the reasons why Plant holds off on a Zeppelin reunion with its guaranteed financial windfall. Plant is all about his roots as a soul infused singer with a diverse range. Zeppelin pigeon holed him in a way that left him questioning his contributions to one of rocks greatest bands.I learned much about where Plant came from; his time with Zeppelin and post Zeppelin. The man is truly fascinated with music and has followed the road of musical curiosity wherever it took him.This book solely covers Plant the singer and doesnt get into the tales of debauchery from the Led Zeppelin days. In fact; it actually downplays these stories as exaggeration and outright falsehoods. Yes; they were a rock band and partied as such but Plant always remained a singer and gentleman Welch farmer. That; in itself; is why I found Plant a rather interesting fellow.Enjoyable read that goes back and forth from the heady days of Zeppelin to Plants solo career. The author very poignantly covers Plants devastating loss of son Karac and also the Led Zeppelin ending death of best friend John Bonzo Bonham.For serious Robert Plant fans only. Others looking for dirt and tabloid material will be very disappointed.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Customerbest book Ive read on mr.plant4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Well written and informativeBy CustomerAlthough this is an interesting book for those that do not know much about Robert Plant; I found most of the information a repeat of what I had read before in other books about Led Zeppelin. What this author does is to delve more deeply into the post-Zeppelin career of Plant. His motivations and paths are clearly explained.There were a few snippets here and there about the man that contradicted what other authors had said. In particular how RP got the nickname "Percy". What I had read before was that "Percy" was a man who had a gardening show on the BBC; which really didnt make any sense at all. Instead this author states that the nicknames origin was from a 1971 film called "Percy". I had to chuckle over that explanation because it now it made perfect sense. I also had to use the dictionary while reading the book because the author used words that I dont think I had ever seen before nor did I understand. I also ran across a few typos. It seems to be the norm nowadays.The book also contains some photos that added interest. If you are looking for juicy gossip; this isnt the book for you. Try "Hammer of the Gods" instead.
