Thanks Rick...dude..you are an ww2 information wizard..anytime i see a posting by you..i check it out...cool.......

My pleasure Wade :)

I like to share and we have a nice group of people here all interested in the same subject.

This IS a good group... i am happy to be a part of such a fine gruop of well informed individuals.

I think there will be a few of us waiting for volume 3 to arrive. Maybe we could organise a group/buddy read if a few of the people here are interested?

Well I have two years to read the first two volumes - that'll be a breeze then...

...oh and then I look at my TBR and all those books everyone keeps recommending :)

Come on Geevee, you can do it :)

I've read both so far and thought they were very good. I may go back and reread them.

Ah..no.....another year? Whats up with that? Well it,s something to look forward to..unlike this years general elections..ugh!

What? It's two years away?

oh NO! It's taking longer to complete than the U S involvment in ww2.

I really liked the first two, hope he finishes the third soon...

I have been waiting for this book it seems like forever....

Hey Kris...i am with you there,it has been ..forever!I am afraid i won't be able to remember how to read by the time this next work hits the publisher...Holy Cow!!

The new book, The Guns at Last Light is out now, finally. I have it, but just got back from vacation and haven't read it yet.

That was a good show.

I've got it, but it is about 3rd on the reading list:)

I'm currently about 1/3rd of the way through
.

IMO it is looking like a 5 star book.

That's good to hear Happy, I'll be starting my copy on July 1st!

I bought my copy today....will probably need all of July & August, since it is huge, and I have reading commitments in other groups here on GR. incidentally, are other WW2 readers in other groups, too?

I'm in a few Laurel and also join other reads plus I have my own lists and wants to read too - just not enough time to read them all.

Glad to hear that I am not alone in the balancing act!

I'm the same as Geevee and it's good to interact with so many people with varied interests but not enough time in the day to read all the good books I have or want!
