Bad Military Fiction

Specifically,

The Pirate Hunters by Mack Maloney

Tor Forge, May 2010.

I mean, at one point the bad guys were "waving 50 caliber machine guns in the air"

And geographic absurdities.

OK, as a nothing book it was OK; But the standards of editing just seem to keep declining.

And when I start to have followers, I'll start to add Amazon links.

German "Frightfullness"

The German (WW I/II) (Well, Colonial and Franco-Prussian Wars too, not than anyone cares)

Is "Schrechlichkeit"

I think; I've had a terrible time tracking this down.

Apologies

I guess I have been more depressed than I thought I was, for some reason I have totally neglected this for the past couple of years. We'll try and post semi-regularly and build up a body of work so I have SOMETHING I can refer people too.

And I have set up another separtate blog for my local residence issues.
