Was it good???
I have been waiting for that book forever.... I thought the last "Colonization" book left off far too abruptly and was very open ended.
I just read the latest installment of "The Great War" series- its tranceded into yet another set, "Settling Accounts". I have alos started his new stand alone novel "Days of Infamy".
[size=2]It was interesting but not on par with the first 5 book Worldwar Series. Still, I was wondering how he was going to pull it off. It ended kind of sad tho, imo.[/size]
[size=2]I read Settling Accounts Book 1. It was pretty good. Book II Drive the East is supposed to be out in August, I think. I finished In the Presence of Mine Enemies a few months back. I almost picked up Days of Infamy but held off to start the Bernard Cornwell King Arthur series: The Winter King, The Enemy of God and Excalibur. I need to read the last one.[/size]
[size=2]Sword of Truth series book 11(?) Chainfire is out though I'll probably wait for paperback. [/size]
[size=2]If you want a very cool Civil War Alternate History book, pick up Gettysburg by Newt Gingrich and William Forstchen. I've read it, loved it and looking for Book II Grant Goes East.[/size]
[size=2]Yesterday I finished that SW Battle Surgeons book. It's interesting so I'll probably pick up Book 2 as well.[/size]
[size=2]I read Star Trek: Ex Machina the day before. it was .. eh..[/size]
[size=2]Currently reading a Ben Bova book called Orion (oldy and a freebie I got a bookstore so I decided to read it).[/size]
[size=2]Brutus - If you liked the World War Series, try looking for The Lost Regiment Series by William Forstchen (book 1 is Rally Cry). It entertained me immensely. You might have trouble with some of the books (It's 9 books so far) as some are out of print. This series reminded me alot of Turtledove's Misplaced Legion series. If you haven't read Misplaced Legion, highly recommended.[/size]
[size=2]Chung Kuo series (David Wingrove) was pretty good as well. Still looking for the out of print book 8. [/size]
[size=2]I've read Shogun and watched the miniseries. I have Gai Jin, Tai Pan, Noble House and Whirlwind. Tai Pan and Noble House were my fav's. Never read King Rat.[/size]
