I think you'll like Helsreach, anoterh cracking read.
Finished the Brunner omnibus, overall I was quite impressed. I prefered the earlier tales which had a grimmer and meaner edge to them IMO.
Well worth picking up though, the omnibus format is a bargain.
Back to Redemption Corp it is then, mixed in with a rereading of the "Thousand Thrones" and 2nd edition WFRP book.
... and all the other roleplay books I've got and not yet worked through...

Good good, I think you'll like it.
Picked up " Bloodborn" -- the first in the Ulrika series -- by Nathan Long today and got stuck into it whilst having a few pints. Sweet as so far.

Dembski-Bowden is officially my new way to get friends interested in 40k.
Cadian Blood? It's singlehandedly brought 3 people into 40k. None of which wanted Marines--they all actually looked into background and picked what they wanted from there.
God bless you ADB for making my gaming group expand with Orks, Eldar, and Tyranids!

Coward on the Beach by James Delingpole
Not bad so far (almost finished it last night, but had to go to bed so I cold get up for work). The pacing is sometimes a bit off, and it is sometimes a bit difficult to follow what is happening as there are not always names attached to dialogue, etc, but it is a pretty fun read that you don't need to think too much about.

I am currently reading The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower. I am glad to see fellow followers of Roland Deschain and his ka-tet's epic quest for the Dark Tower on this forum. So far, so good! Well, except for part 6, Song of Susannah... That one did not live up to my expectations.

I mean just look at the recent bumbling acts of marketing childishness we've seen in just the past year! Iron Man 2. All the trailers, previews, interviews, Comi-Con panels, tie-ins with burger joints and whatnot. None of that should have happened. The real way to market a movie like Iron Man 2 is to not tell anyone you're making it until a week before its release and then BAM, you hit 'em with the movie. You get everyone to sign NDA's that are punishable by forfeiture of all the person's assets and/or the death penalty, you hire hitmen to kill journalists that sneak in to take photos, you threaten local towns with forced sterilisation should they blab that something's filming in their town, and then then you say nothing about the movie at all and, in fact, even go so far as to deny you're making it.
Avatar. Another great example. All that hype about it being the most expensive movie ever made, the genius of the special effects, and so on. James Cameron should have denied he ever intended to make a movie after Titanic and then zzzzzzzzaaaaaaappp, Avatar - Realease Date - 1 week from now!
That's the real way to market. None of this preview/trailer/hype bull gak. You say nothing, you deny everything, and you leave everyone guessing as to what the hell you're doing until you physically are no longer able to.
Think of just how much money Avatar and Iron Man 2 could have made if we'd never known they existed until they were already in theatres? Hundreds more. Possibly even hundreds of billions more. Why is GW the only one who gets this?

After watching Pacific, I wanted to see it as it was originally written. Planning on getting his sequel 'China Marine' at some point as well.
I may also get Helmet for my Pillow, but its sounds like Leckies book may not be as interesting as this one.
Regardless, about halfway in, getting close to the end of Peleliu now, and its been a fantastic, tragic, and very deep, with occasional humour filled read so far.
Reminds me of what we owe to folks like him.
