Blisset, Luther: Q. v1.0. May 2008
Well,
Ladies and gentlemen, here goes Luther Blisset's "Q", one of my favorite historical novels ever. If you liked "The Physician" by Gordon, "Shogun" by Clavell, O'Brian's "Aubrey-Maturins", Jenning's "Aztec" or "the Journeyer", Cornwell's "Sharpe" series or "Pillars of Earth" by Follet, don't-miss-this-one. Religion wars in Central Europe 1525-1550 ad. Enjoy. This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.

What an interesting book. Thanks.
Just in case anyone's worried about the copyright of this work, I have checked the website of the authors' collective, which states: "Since 1996, all our books have been published with the following notice: The partial or total reproduction of this book, in electronic form or otherwise, is consented to for non-commercial purposes, provided that the original copyright notice and this notice are included and the publisher and source are clearly acknowledged.

Luther Blisset is a pseudonym for a group of people. They are totally against copyright, and therefore, although you can buy their books to support their efforts (I bought my paper copy), they are free to download.
However, this is the only one I have read so far. That is where my bottom line comes from, which comes to say that knowledge should be shared. Yesterday, while adding that line to my profile I realized "Q" fit perfectly here. Following their philosophy I shared my bed book-chair plans and will share my writings if I ever translate them into English. Luther Blisset is now called Wu Ming. |
