Seasons

And old joke in Chicago is that there are two seasons: winter, and construction. Three months in Central Florida have taught me that they only have two seasons themselves: Hurrricanes and Child Abusers.

We Few / David Weber and John Ringo

We Few / David Weber and John Ringo Skilled military SF from two guys who are pretty good at keeping the pages flying. The last book in this series had a "more of the same" beads on a stinrg quality. And frankly, both these guys are a bit too much of the Military Feudalists for my tastes a lot fo the time. Lots of heros who are royalty and such. But the military part of that, which admires and rewards competence, and honor, leavens the bit of "lord and master" that creeps through in their writings from time to time.
