I just read the first book in the Axis of Time trilogy, Weapons of Choice. I thought it was so-so.

I read 'em a few years ago and your assessment of "so-so" reflects my view as well. Lot of potential in that storyline but execution wasn't what it could have been.

Just began the Steampunk Cthuhlu compilation, ~15 different authors and stories.

'Revelation Space' trilogy by Alastair Reynolds.

Just finished Horowitz' second article/speech collection. It's sort of mindblowing to be reminded that back in the 90s the Clintons were intentionally deprecating national security resulting in major leaks to Russia and even selling military secrets. We clearly got grazed by that bullet again! (Though whether we dodged into another bullet remains to be seen... :hide: )

Back to It Never Snows in September.

Just started Teddy Suhren, Ace of Aces: Memoirs of a U-Boat Rebel. A little short for my taste (only 224 pages), but still, a great read so far.

Like me.

BanzaiCat · July 28, 2017, 01:35:11 PM

You're a great read? Or a U-Boat captain?

Gusington · July 28, 2017, 01:39:48 PM

Both.

And too short for some people's tastes.

Gusington · August 07, 2017, 05:31:35 PM

Not you though.

The book is a little short...I don't get but about 15 minutes a night or so to read and I'm almost 3/4 of the way through it.

Finally finished the last book of "A Tale of the Malazan Book of the Fallen" by Steve Erikson.

I finished reading Coup d'État and Two Fronts, books 4 and 5 in The War That Came Early series by Harry Turtledove. I am now reading Last Orders, the 6th and last book of the series.

I've heard good things about the series, but haven't tried getting into it yet.

I enjoyed the read but you do have to put some effort into it. There are many characters and many threads with one over arching story. It can be hard to keep things straight.
