Book of the Week: 1635: The Eastern Front.

Hey, I like alternate history and 1635: The Eastern Front has all sorts of interesting things going on in the margins. Besides, the more Eric Flint sells, the more likely he is to get the latest book in his Trail of Glory series published.

And so farewell, Red State Uprising: How to Take Back America.

Book of the Week: Torch of Freedom.

Another one on the can’t-wait list: Torch of Freedom is Eric Flint and David Weber’s sequel to Crown of Slaves, which is itself one of the books of Weber’s Honorverse space opera series. Sort of Hornblower, only with starships. Suffice it to say that I buy these in hardcover, when I can.

So, it being Sunday, we replace the previous sequel (Imager’s Challenge: The Second Book of the Imager Portfolio) with this sequel.

Quote of the Day.

This was never said by Andrew Jackson – although if he had ever had cause to, it would certainly fit his personality:

“Besides, it doesn’t matter. The thing that separates our party from – whatever you want to call that pack of scoundrels who don’t agree on much of anything except they want power – is this, before it’s anything else. You figure out what you think the republic needs. First. Then you figure out how to get enough people to vote for you. What you don’t do – ever – is go at it the other way. Leave that to the Henry Clays of the world.”

- Eric Flint, 1824: The Arkansas War

A paragraph that needs to be burned in various and sundry people’s retinas, methinks.
