Hello JB, Long time commenter, first time reader here. Just on the 3 musketeers research I really recommend the Netflix series 'Thieves of the Wood'. Its set in 18th Century Belgium and is about a deserter from the Habsberg army called Jan de Lichte who returns to his old village in Flanders and uses his military experience to become the leader of a bandit guild. Lots of sex, violence and gore but many interesting insights into the society and technology of the period. - LOBES
Axis of Time. I remember that series from when I was very young (reaches for ear trumpet). I really enjoyed it. I recall the author promised a new book one day. Of course that was in the old days when people printed books and everything. Anyway, that Birmingham fellow's probably been dead for years...
So I just finished listening to American Kill Switch for the 2nd time. Liked it a lot but particularly loved the character of Damian McLoughlin, Damo. And the reader was amazing good. It took me awhile to understand that it was an Australian view of America .Anyway back to Damo I would love to have a book about his adventures in mining or whatever. A truly memorable character.
Finally, Mr Birmingham, you remembered us. Seriously John, what has the world come to Eh? I've not worked since April 20th and before that can't remember the last holiday I had longer than a week for 25 years. I've been reading all sorts of stuff just to keep the old brain amused on Kindle unlimited. Cant quite afford to buy books anymore except for those who are deserving. Any way just wanted to say Hi and good to see you back.
Yes, yes, yes, new books and such, but I gotta say I get a massive fanboy moment every time you mention Pourboy. I haven't worked in the CBD for over 5 years now, and honestly the only thing I miss about it is my daily liquid crack courtesy of Pourboy. Memories...
I am constantly amazed by your productivity! Particularly looking forward to the Cruel Stars sequel and spin-offs.
