I just read Crimson Kings about a month or so ago. Wow is all I can think to say. Would love to see some short stories from that setting.

I am working on a story (I know, who'd expect THAT on this kind of board) about an alt-WW1. Some of the terminology I've come up with. Powered Glider: Airplane Cloud Cruiser: Armored Airship Tesla Talker (a TeeTee): Radio Mechanical Horse: Motorcycle Da Vinci (a DeeVee): Parachute Clank: A...

Honor Harrington Universe - I like Queen Berry. She's actually my favorite character in the series.

You guys are the greatest! Now, to run up my Amazon credit card.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books, but was mightily pissed off by the third. Jumping over two WHOLE YEARS of storyline, then killing off one of the major characters off screen? WTF? Plus, I do not care for authors who are too lazy to maintain internal consistency. If you say something...

No, this one was very strange. Earth was slowly recovering from the effects of the 3rd World War. India was the top power, and the United States was a junior partner, trying to reclaim its mantel of superpower. Russia was destroyed. A couple of people are researching ESP and mental powers...

holy shikeses! I love you! I've been trying to find the title to that for years. That's exactly it! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!

Much less porn. :(

Dang, no one has any ideas? :(

I've read several books years ago that I'd like to track down again. Unfortunately, I can tell you in great detail what they were about, just not the name or author. Does anyone know of any database or resource for tracking down books? Some of the one's I'm looking for include a...

I'd love to see Dies the Fire done in the same style as Fallout 3. I can't get enough of Fallout and am dying slowly of lack of oxygen holding my breath for New Vegas.

Thanks, I won't be sleeping tonight now. That was the most brutal description, merely by being technical and bloodless about it.

Sorry, I need to read the book to give better feedback. I'm too confused to know what's going on.

I've heard or read somewhere that it was Tony Blair who talked to George Bush and said that any nuclear reaction would be, while understandable in the moment, condemned as criminal overreaction by history.

The more I think about it, the more I think that the folks with the people in the basement are the ones who will pull through. They've ascertained the problem (no food), determined a viable course of action (eat people), and implemented a methodology that ensures their continued survival for...

Watched this finally (thanks Netflicks!). Oh. My. God. I haven't been suckerpunched like that since the end of The Mist. I litterally can't slip from the images rolling in my head. Anyway, seeing as how this is an alt-history board, I was thinking how the world ended up like it did. I'm...

Mexico With the chaos and confusion in the immediate aftermath, might Mexico not want to cross into the Southwest in order to 'protect Mexican lives' during the anarchy? How would the ASA now deal with actual Reconquista activities? Or would Mexico look to the plastering of NorKs and Iran...

I would have to say pretty much never. Soviet air and sea lift capability just were not up to the task. After any kind of nuclear exchange, their ability to project power outside the Eurasian landmass would be limited far more so. The fact that there are more guns in the US than citizens...

Well, would the UN continue to use New York as a base? I don't think so, seeing as how UN troops (European/Canadian I assume?) are stationed along the Blue Line. I know Geneva is the typical relocation site for the UN, but really now, the Swiss only just joined the UN. Would not England or...

What's the world reaction to the nuking of Iran and North Korea? I'm just assuming here, but since they used ICBMs, I'm thinking there's megatons of Iranians and Koreans floating around in the upper atmosphere now. On the international stage, is the ASA a pariah state or is it one that 'no...
