Oh, I first thought it was really going to be the Predator predator...
but it still sounds awesome!!! -
What a...novel idea.Recently, there was a reckoning. It occurred on November 4, 2014 across the United States. Voters, recognizing the failures of the current leadership and fearing their unchecked abuses of power, elected another party as the new majority. This is a first step toward preventing more damage and undoing some of the damage already done. Hopefully, this is as much as will be required.Comment

I hope this isn't a joke."And what kind of head of Security would I be if I let people like me know things that I'm not supposed to know? I mean, I know what I know because I have to know it. And if I don't have to know it, I don't tell me, and I don't let anyone else tell me either. " And I can give you reasonable assurances that the head of Security will not report you for doing so."
"Because you won't tell yourself about it?"
"I try never to get involved in my own life, too much trouble."

I'm all for that.Originally posted by frulad View PostWhy can't it be both- Really funny and parasites have invaded Elton John's brain?
While I am a fan of some historical fiction (Golden age of sail mostly -- Kent's Bolitho series, along with Forrester's Hornblower) this idea just struck me as... weird.
Now if it had more of a Steampunk (or League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) feel, that would be another thing.

While I love Hornblower, Patrick O'Brian's work blows at all away. I have never read Kent.Originally posted by FuryPilot View PostRecently, there was a reckoning.

Kent's Bolitho series was my first introduction to the genre. They are a good read, but not as sophisticated as O'Brian.

There is a lot of garbage out there, too.
What's amazing about O'Brian is that the entire texts of the books are written in language contemporary to the time. Not just the characters' words, the entire book. And probably nobody else in the world could smartly write toilet humor.Recently, there was a reckoning. It occurred on November 4, 2014 across the United States.

On the subject of historical fiction, I just got into it recently with Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels. I'd like to move onto either Hornblower or Aubrey/Maturin (the Master & Commander film was exceptional, so that piqued my interest), but there's so much more great Cornwell that I'm still reading different stuff of his!
Any of you read any Cornwell? Hmm. Maybe a historical fiction thread would be better idea than derailing this one further.Comment

You will not be disappointed with O'Brian. He does it all: drama, comedy, action, adventure. It's amazing.Originally posted by raw_bean View Post
I will read Agincourt once it comes out in paperback. I have a lot of interest in ancient English battles. The Sharpe series looks good, too.Any of you read any Cornwell?
What's this "derailing" you say? Do you mean throwing it off course?Hmm. Maybe a historical fiction thread would be better idea than derailing this one further.Recently, there was a reckoning.
