Daniel is 23% done with Warlock (Darkwar, #2)
All those whining that Morika is not a „likeable“ obviously have never read a multidimensional character that does not showcase good traits only. The ability to write these flawed and conflicted characters is what makes Cook so great even in second tier material like Darkwar.

Lee may have a pro-chinese bias, he makes some very good points in here nonetheless…

Daniel
Daniel is 77% done with The Law
This is probably one of the most essential books of all time if you want to understand the nature of the law and the state and its impact on liberty. Bastiat laid it out so very clearly hundreds of years ago but the pied piper of politics is still leading the way away from liberty and prosperity onto the next social experiment…

I respect Hendrix a lot for his non-fiction work and what he has done with it for the horror community but his novels are all just rather bland and mediocre and this no real exception unfortunately…

We Sold Our Souls

Daniel is 81% done with Revolver
The most ridiculous thing about this pretentious piece of pseudo social commentary is how Hicks lets his main character basically give a big speech about not being so divisive and hate filled while he has just painted the other side of the political aisle he obviously despises in the most vile and atrocious light possible over the course of the whole story. Yes, it is that level of ideologically stupid…

What could be an intriguing story is dragged down severely by the fact that Hicks simply can‘t seem to help himself and constantly needs to litter his work with childish and superficial socio-political commentary straight out of ideology class 101…🙄

While it is obvious that this was written by a good writer, it is very much like an old blade that has just done dull. Overall it is not a particularly good attempt and cosmic horror that drags quite a bit and whose Lovecraft references feel tacked on like an afterthought.

Still as excellent after all these years. Let‘s hope Apple did not screw this one up with the TV series. Woke character changes in the trailer do not really make me all that hopeful…
