The vibe (very similar to Abercrombie's recent THE DEVILS in a good way) pulled me right into the story. I like Slade, I'm intrigued by what's up w Sir Caliban. Tnx for the reco peoples!
Also just bought The Clockwork Boys, albeit not started it yet...
...
More or less halfway in, very enjoying this. It's somewhat lighter fantasy in the ELI MONPRESS / 13th PALADIN vein but still more adult with occssional dark turns that are very well written. The author takes it right up to the edge of grimdark but doesn't quite go over, and the interaction between the characters if very well written. -

Maybe I do.
Maybe I think you are REALLY REALLY angry at America and Americans and are probably biased the other way as well.
I've been to the states and been around Americans in mixed company and the racism I've seen always kind of staggers me...I'm not saying this from a place of ignorance, as a Canadian (and we have our own racism problems, don't get me wrong) I was quite astonished at how open and blatant it was in various instances. If that's not representative of the whole, that's fine, but that's been my experience with average Americans in my years.
I'm not going to pretend it isn't a problem and doesn't still exist to a large degree. But, as a motivator for voting in Trump, I think it has less to do with that than the economy. I listened to countless interviews with people who said they remember Trump's economy and how great it was who voted for Biden and were leaning Trump because of the "current" economy.
Not actually the people i'm 'angry' at... it's the self-identified democrat centrist to left leaning vocally socially conscious set who decided that the right thing to do was not vote. -

To make global pressure to stop US/Israeli/Saudi aggression against Iran.
'Make them stop attacking us or we'll keep on ineffectively attacking you' is certainly a tactic. -

"Shield of the Americas"? Shouldn't that be something more like "Golden Shield of Epic Fury" or some such?
Does she get another plane or just a bus this time? -

Sadly yes...America had little trouble electing an elderly traditional Democrat to oust Trump the first time...but apparently a Woman of colour the next time was too much for the deeply racist and sexist US to elect, so they went with Felon, rapist Pedo.....
The part that truly irks me... it's not the racists, idiots, zealots, corporate stooges who voted for him (I mean it is that too but that's not my point here)... they did what they were always going to do... it'sthe absurdly huge chunk of voters who claim to care but couldn't be bothered to show up because 'Kamala'. Like, whatever your problem w Kamala... her prosecution record, her political background, her position on Israel, her name has too many vowels, whatever... how did anyone with half an education and two braincells to rub together look at the alternative and decide 'nah, not going'???
AND they'll do it again too.
