Ah, beans. Thanks for informing me. Flashback was an interesting one. I enjoyed it from the dystopian action sci-fi aspect of it. The politics were a bit heavy handed for sure. Whelp, guess he’s on his way to being dirt or hanging out on someone’s mantle by now, so it can’t get any worse

The very same! He wrote in a ton of different genres, and I’ve enjoyed most all his work. Hopefully he’s not a total dirtbag

Can’t speak to his politics but the Joe Kurtz series by Dan Simmons starting with the book Hardcase was a pretty great tough guy/lone wolf type series

I think Iconoclast might hate Mondays, and every other day in fact

And what about maybe also adding in a friend or relative that’s with you so that you can inform the cop that one of you tells only truths and one of you tells only lies. I think we’re onto something here. ‘Dispatch, I’m gonna need the Riddlemaster to come down here. We got another one.’

Can’t believe I’d see a decently thought provoking question I’d never considered to be met with a subject matter expert in this way. You’re awesome.

That’s a neat idea!

Me too, thank you

Obviously pretty subjective to rate books but I’ll say I have really enjoyed the series. Once I begin to understand an author’s writing style I seem to adapt to it so that’s almost a non-factor for me and I am therefore a poor judge of that.

But I really enjoyed the scope and theme of the stories. It goes a lot of places, it does a lot of stuff, there’s emotional parts, there’s wrongdoings, violence and revenge. The settings I thought were very cool. It’s got a lot going on and it’s probably one of those books/series where you just have to check it out to see if it clicks with you

Imagine if the individuals that put pen to paper and have their names attached on the initiation of this purchase had to face the financial repercussions - or any repercussions at all - to also undo it. Boy, that’d be something. Accountability. What a wild foreign concept.

Firing up the Idiot Machine

I’m no help but I was having the same issue and couldn’t find anything in the settings that controlled those error messages. Annoying.

The Cabin In The Woods

I’ll save you a click… it’s South Australia. (I think, I didn’t read it, but these guys said it is)
