mate, you can't seriously expect me to play along with your striking lack of basic intellectual honesty =)
I don't expect anyone, to do anything. Except die. That we all have in common, at least thus far.
What is dead may never die ;)
<SNIP>
And what is yet to be written (by old rich author) may never be finished ;)
It's funny. I've tried reading the books, and find them tedious :( I much prefer Richard Morgan's "A Land Fit for Heroes" trilogy.
I've read the first one a long time ago. I actually prefer the show over the book, in a rare reversal...
Morgan's stuff is great... the little twist that the gods are actually the envoys from the Kovacs books was nice ;)
Yeah, and the space-tearing weapons of the Martians and their enemies. But damn, there's maybe a million years of intervening story, which he sketches out in fragments. I do wish that he'd tell it. But then, I grew up on Anderson, Heinlein and Zelazny :)
My favorite Morgan book is still 13 (or Black Man as it originally came out in the UK)
I read the Kovacs trilogy first, and they're still my favorites. I do like everything that he's written, however. The genetically engineered characters in 13 are a lot like Envoys, and he explores many of the same issues.
But at least we have hbo..
And torrents ;)
And kodi !
