So what are you reading, now? Part V

(And, since this was the first book, I made a real effort to reintroduce all the basic concepts and characters.)

Can you say if this a single "test" release or are there more W13 novels in the works?


As far as I know, there is only one book currently in the pipeline, although I would love to do another one. (As would several other authors I know.)

There is also a comic book in the works.
 
I'm reading the Abode of Life. I like that fact that Lee Corry has introduced such a diverse culture. Great so far!
 
Currently reading Imperial Moon by Christopher Bulis. The Fifth Doctor and Turlough encounter the 1878 British lunar expedition.
 
Starting H.G. Wells' The Outline of History. I rather like Wells, and am interested in a 19th century intellectual's perspective on world history, particularly on the issues that led to the Great War.
 
I finished Paths of Disharmony the other day. I really enjoyed it but was kind of disappointed that the Typhon Pact was barely in it, especially considering Typhon Pact is the name of the miniseries. Though not a big deal at all, I was somewhat surprised that
none of the characters ever compared the Treishya to Terra Prime, seeing as how they have similar ideals.
I've since started on Stargate Atlantis: Angelus. After that I'll be reading Seeds of Dissent from MyrU: Infinity's Prism.

Well, they existed 230 years apart. How often are present-day groups or factions compared to things from the Revolutionary War? (Well, aside from the Tea Party, which doesn't actually have that much in common with their historical namesake.)
 
i'm branching off into new scifi that doesnt have the words star, trek or wars in it. I just started "Off Armageddon Reef" by David Weber. Really enjoying it so far. Nice change of pace, reading characters i know nothing about.
 
Finished Demons of Air and Darkness and Horn and Ivory in short order and have moved on to Mission Gamma: Twilight.

Two observations:

1) After the last few medium-sized books, MG:T is rather imposing/daunting both in large page count and tiny font size. I might be here a while.
2) A certain genre property has nearly ruined the lovely word that is "twilight", as whenever I see the title now my brain briefly flashes on brooding teenage girls and pouty, sparkly vampires. :(
 
I am enjoying H.G. Wells' The Outline of History, volume one for "leisure" and still have Galileo's Finger as a 'serious' read.

Funny, it still makes me think of Rod Serling.


Hmm. I'm suddenly envisioning an SNL skit . . . .

"Submitted for your approval, a teenage girl who is unaccountably attractive to both aloof, pale, sparkly high school boys and shirtless Native American werewolves. Bella doesn't know it, but she's just enrolled in . . . the Twilight Zone."
 
Finished Paths of Disharmony.

Next up is One of Our Thursdays is Missing by Jasper Fforde.
 
After working my way through ten more Perry Rhodan stories I started Bill Maher's "True Story" today.
 
I try to have 1 mystery and 1 ST sci-fi on the go at the same time...

Finished: Bill Pronzini's Nightcrawlers + Peter David's ST NF: Treason

Reading: DS9: Mission Gamma 3 - Cathedral by Michael Martin & Andy Mangels + Bill Pronzini's Mourners
