If you don't mind answering, what word? I am trying to remember if I ran to the dictionary with that one. I do it plenty of times, but don't remember.

I haven't read The Good That Men Do yet, but Taking Wing was the first time I've seen the word "gerund" used in a Star Trek novel!

"Torus", "tenebrous", "obstreperous" and "aquiline" were a few that threw me. I recognise at least a couple, but I still wanted to check the exact definition to use them in conversation myself one day...

"obstreperous"

When I was a little kid, there was a popular picture book about a wayward kite called "Obstreperous", so I've always known that one.

Haven't you heard of an "aquiline" nose?

 

[trampledamage]

Torus and tenebrous are new words to me too - I'm off to the dictionary!

Received "The Good that Men Do" book from Amazon yesterday. Going to start in on it right after I finish the Heinlein book I'm reading now.

 

[donners22]

I'm getting dangerously close to the end of "The Good that Men Do", and there doesn't seem to be a resolution to the plot coming. If this is another unadvertised multi-part story, I will be very annoyed...

^No, it's self-contained, but it does lay the groundwork for future ENT novels.
