As far as I know, "Titanicus" is a stand alone story as in he hasn't written a sequel...

So to answer the question, its the first one of its kind, I'm pretty sure its neither the first nor last book Dan Abnett has ever written though...

I just read Desert Raiders last week. Quick read for a road trip. Started and am half way through Patriot Games by Clancy. I figure I should at least attempt to read of his books I have.

I gotta make up a list of BL books I want so the FLGS can order them for me.

Isn't that technically Robert Jordan?
Also, how does Sanderson's writing compare to the rest of the series? I've read 1-9, but never found the rest, however, my Parents got me a Kindle yesterday for Graduation so books here i come! (If only the BL was on eBooks )

They can be quite good (personal opinion of course), but it's often overshadowed by how much emotional pain is inflicted.

I'm quite serious, the main character has so much self loathing you wonder why he doesn't spontaneously detonate. But he doesn't just cause himself constant pain, he takes every single opportunity to emotionally destroy any character introduced to him. But it all turns out "ok" as he saves the day.

Really, it's like watching a train approach a chasm, once you get started you can't stop, waiting for the inevitable breakdown.
