TWD has ruined the zombie genre for me. I love it! --- but when I saw zombies RUNNING after the people in the remake of Dawn of the Dead, I said, "Wait a minute, Zombies are supposed to be slow and really stupid." rofl

Billy, it seems to me that such a cover might give too much away. As it was, this cover was a very strong hint toward certain developments. Covers ought not spoil the book content overly, and Palencar was already riding that line. IMO, he crossed it. You're right Savor Dam, I didn't think of that. ...

I don't think he hates himself. Never got that vibe. He just feels ineffectual. There is allot of cooperation though, especially towards the end. Aneles quote comes to mind. Overwhelmed with no experience to fall back on. When he figured out Wildwood's runes, then the wisdom flowed into and back ou...

Mainly, I am trying to deal with the story as SRD wrote it and how I wished it would have been. In the end, it is his story, and so I have to find a way to be content with what he has done. I agree. Now that it is over, and we know how the story ends, I find myself wishing for more - just as I have...

There will be no default. The treasury brings in about $200 billion every month. Debt service monthly is between $14-17 billion. Also the Constitution dictates that the debt service must be paid first. (The 14th amendment) If Barack 0bama does not pay the debt and defaults, he would violate the Cons...

I think Simony is a wrong choice of words here. If you read the book of Acts, simony is trying to buy something (power of God, in biblical meaning) that can only be given freely to those who ask. What Brinn accused the Humbled and the Masters of, was in effect the reverse of simony. Denying Earthpow...

I did finally get it this morning at the local Barnes & Noble. They didn't want to give it to me because they're evil, but I wrest it from their sinister clutches! Seriously, worse service ever. Wow, at my local B&N they are usually nice. They only try to sell me their discount membership o...

Man, I was sweating bullets yesterday afternoon! I was reading hundreds upon hundreds of complaints about Prestige Delivery Systems on Amazon's feedback forum. Lost packages, erroneous deliveries, etc. They were due to deliver from 10 AM through 8 PM.

The book was delivered at 4:30. woot!

I imagine they threw it on a truck this morning. It was only 281 miles away. Hopefully I'll have it by noon. :D
