First some old business from december
I totally missed this post , so my apologies.
Card in my opinion is a fast food writer better suited to young adult or teen audiences, I thought speaker was a better novel , only because of the concept of someone doing a eulogy that actually represented the disesased and telling it like it was.
Such and such died , in life he was a drunk , he abused his wife and kids and stuff like that. He makes up a nice tile in the mosaic of the sf world, but thats about it.
Now , on to 09
Finished Storm of Shadows by David Weber
Heavy on politics and is setting the stage for Harringtons retirement to the background, as well as a forewarning by the author that some of the material will be seen in future books as seen from other eyes.
Quite frankly I am hoping he (Weber) is training a new author to take over writing the series , as this one could quite frankly go another ten years before the saga is complete. With Jordan passing before he could complete his series , I am thinking this should be on Baen books future topics to bring up with DW.
