I kind of liked The Road Not Taken (the link is to a pdf of the story). I just generally alien invasion/encounter stories where the scariest loving creatures are the Earth humans. Meanwhile, even though I've probably read The Guns of the South five or six times over the years, I'm really enjoying this read-through.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Another good write up. Although the war concludes quickly, seems likely the Union would have had significant mutinies if it had continued much longer. That point or one like it is addressed later in the book.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Oh yeah you’re right, fun to get hints like how the US is already deploying their own AK-47 primitive prototypes against Canada but it’s not helping them against the Royal Navy. Shhh. Spoilers. The "Civil War" part of the book is cool, but for me, the best parts come later with the South actually trying to build a real country with the inevitable compromises that come with that.

Gnoman posted:Not really. In that series, the only Nazis that really get a favorable depiction are Heinrich Jager's panzer crew and the commandant of the later military spaceport. I admit kind of loving how Skorzeny would kind of mock the poo poo out of the SS like a Nazi Bugs Bunny. Assuming I remember that right. It's been several years since I read the series. Weird bit from his wiki bio is that apparently Skorzeny did some work for Mossad mostly because he was kind of bored. Everyone fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Apr 30, 2022 |
