Vance Hawkins is my Hero!

Grand Designs - Failsafe by David Mack pp.390-392

I was in a hospital waiting room and literally laughed out loud for around 3 minutes straight. Several odd looks my way in the process. Didn't really seem to care that much.

"The Knife" for the win!

Thank you. This brought a glimmer of joy to an otherwise craptastic day.

^ That is a particular favorite scene of mine.

 

[David Mack]

^ Ah, yes. The interrogation. I had a great deal of fun thinking that up one evening.

See, this is where reading these stories in e-format turns around and bites you in the ass.

What e-page/chapter/scene are we talking about?

It's the scene in Failsafe in which Hawkins is being interrogated by the Venekans, and Hawkins announces that he's a covert agent who's infiltrated the X'Mari resistance, but he can't specify his mission to his interrogator because he obviously isn't cleared to know about him.....

I was reading that in dead tree format while my parents were watching some boring reality tv show. I couldn't help chuckling and while my dad agreed, my mother did her Marge Simpson impression.

I have to disagree. I read it in eBook formam and got every bit as much enjoyment as I would have from the paper edition. I was not even at my computer when I read it. Thanks to my Sony Reader PRS-505. In fact, I read all the SCE/CoE stories away from my computer. Granted I'm a bit behind, but given the hiatus due to eBook haters. I have plenty of time to catch up.

^ O.K., we know you love the e-book format, but do you really have to take any comment out of context to make your point? There was nothing about enjoyment in William's post, he was just talking about not knowing which scene the other poster was refering to because he doesn't have the TPB.

JWolf, this is the third time in the past week you've taken a thread off topic with this sort of talk. We know you're not happy with the hiatus, but this is unnecessary. Please don't do it again.
