Just finished The First Heretic today. there was no silver lining to that ending. by the end it was written like the bad guys were good guys and vice versa. possibly the most grimdark HH book yet.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

A collection of Isaac Asimov's favorite short stories. The one called "The Final Question" resulted in a brain explosion. Read it if you get the chance, all that would help would be a basic knowledge of Entropy. It's explained somewhat in the book, too.

I'm only 50 odd pages in, but it's been good so far.
The revealed stuff about the titular chapter is all pretty cool so far, and he has a ncie turn of phrase here and there.
His work so far has gotten better from book to book -- Flesh and iron is vastly superior to Emperor's mercy IMO -- even with all the.. err... scandal and clamour that ( sort of) surrounded it.

See the review bit on here
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Flesh-Iron-Bastion-Wars-Henry/dp/184416814X
and from there it hit the forums, blogs etc etc. Now it might have been a mistake, or a homage or he might even have had permission, I dunno, but GW/ BL haven't said anything about it either way to my knowledge.

Yikes. Unfortunately the most likely explaination is plagarism.
Nonetheless, this sounds like is about Space-Cajuns in Space-Nam! That's win-win for me.

The essential story and characters are good, highlights a nice aspect of the setting we don't see often/much.
.... some really nice twists in the tale too, it's worth picking up if you get the chance.

A load of stuff at the moment as per usual due to school commitments (eugh, I'm such an ass for taking so many classes), but amongst my personal reads is The Peshawar Lancers, by S.M. Stirling, which I picked up today after a month or so of hunting. I've only been able to read the appendixes at the back about the setting etc, plus a brief synopsis of the plot up to a point, on the way home today on the train, but it seems to be alright all things concidered, and I'll take it any day over the novels that my education forces me to read, so it can only do good things when posed up against that. Uh, I'm probably going to have another go at reading One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest at some point in the near future too, after I was distracted from it by bloody Alasdair Gray drivvle ¬¬, and continue reading the Lies of Locke Lamora series too if the author bothers to release the next novel some time in the near future (heh, he spent a year and a half learning everything there is to know about 15th centuary gallions just so as he knew he was getting everything right for his second novel), but I couldn't recommend that series higher to anyone who's into the fantasy genre, especially if its the more realistic, underhanded, grit in the face and tequilas at midnight kind that your into. ^^

Just finished "Prospero Burns" - worst book from Abnett yet (I usually like his work).
Now I've started rereading "Empire from the Ashes" by David Weber for the 5th or 6th time - I just love this book (who wouldn't love a book about a moon sized, intelligent battleship with a nice touch of humour  ).
