![]() Honestly, the spelling of the names would have absolutely put me off reading this book in physical form. As a side note, everything is spelled so weird I am SO GLAD I’m listening to this book. I honestly think that the ratio of interesting events and development to sex scenes was WAY OFF. To make up for the LACK OF PLOT and any interesting events or developments in the plot or characters or relationships, JLA absolutely used sex scenes to fill out this book instead. Their banter and comradeship (and the fact that most if not all of them turn into wolves, I literally cannot remember if any of them are Atlantian), kept me listening to this book. ![]() I have to say that I still love Kieran (fave), Delano and Emil, Naill and Vonetta. JLA has made this book so, incredibly long, and it honestly was like… a boring history book about all these people and different species and bloodlines and ugh, that is like 50% of the book and it killed me. I didn’t even read the physical book, I listened to the audiobook which I ended up ramping to 1.4x speed because, and I repeat, nothing was happening. ![]() This book could have done with some SERIOUS editing. It started positively, resolving the cliffhanger which the previous book (A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire) left off. Poppy wasn’t nearly as annoying as the previous two books, but the book itself was just not great. ![]()

![]() ![]() They were an immediate hit, striking a chord of rueful self-recognition with readers, who saw in the unshaven pair of reluctant warriors an accurate and unsentimental depiction of a soldier’s life at the front in the third long year of America’s war. ![]() Willie and Joe, the sad-faced, war-weary creations of soldier-cartoonist Bill Mauldin, first appeared together on the pages of Stars and Stripes, the Army’s daily newspaper, in late February 1944, two months after their real-life comrades came ashore at Anzio. Among the thousands of American soldiers slogging through the miserable winter of 1944 in southern Italy after the Allied landing at Anzio were two GIs who existed only on paper, but who became as real to their readers as the mud-covered, K-ration-eating guys sitting next to them in their foxholes. ![]() ![]() ![]() She is smart and athletic and devastated when the school cancels her hockey team.

In The Sea Wolves, Lars Brownworth brings to life this extraordinary Norse world of epic poets, heroes, and travellers through the stories of the great Viking figures. ![]() They were also sophisticated merchants and explorers who settled Iceland, founded Dublin, and established a trading network that stretched from Baghdad to the coast of North America. ![]() They were makers of law – the term itself comes from an Old Norse word – and they introduced a novel form of trial by jury to England. Turning east, they swept down the uncharted rivers of central Europe, captured Kiev and clashed with mighty Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.īut there is more to the Viking story than brute force. Much of the British Isles fell before their swords, and the continental capitals of Paris and Aachen were sacked in turn. Wave after wave of Norse ‘sea-wolves’ followed in search of plunder, land, or a glorious death in battle. In AD 793 Norse warriors struck the English isle of Lindisfarne and laid waste to it.

When I couldn't find one, I decided I'd sit down and write my own. To help me in the endeavor I went searching for a book that would make me laugh. I had spent a year grieving and weeping over her death, had tired of the misery, and decided it was time to stop crying. You see, I wrote The Deed a year after my mother died of breast cancer.

That absence is a little surprising, as a whole new generation of writers has come along with an interest in creating new pulps. And yet Preiss’ long-term plans for Weird Heroeswere cut short with the eighth volume, and today it’s hard to find much discussion of the books online (though they’re well-remembered when they are discussed). Well-known creators from comics and science fiction contributed to the books, and one character would spawn a six-volume series of his own. ![]() The series had a specific set of ideals for its heroes, linked with an appreciative but not uncritical love of pulp fiction from the 1920s through 40s. Weird Heroes was a series of eight books put out by Byron Preiss Visual Publications from 1975 through 1977, a copiously-illustrated mix of novels and short stories that aimed at creating a new kind of pulp fiction with new kinds of pulp heroes. ![]() |
