I love the old Clarke/Heinlein books, and found Boundary to be very much in that mould. One of the best books I've read in a long time.
I had a similar rant about mistakes in Eric Flint's Latin in "1632", if it's of any comfort
Thanks again for posting - great to see you here. |
My pleasure. And it didn't bother me -- I've had MUCH worse said about my stuff; what brought me to actually look was the title of the thread, which echoed the "No, John Ringo, No!" and made me wonder if I'd somehow put in something terribly offensive.
We all have our kneejerk "NO!" topics.
Thanks again for your compliments; Eric and I were trying for exactly that kind of feel. I'm going for the "Old-style Grand Space Opera" feel in my other recent novel.
