    ...Russia is trying to transport hundreds of tons of uranium ore through Niger. The convoy started from Arlit Mine in the north and took ten days to reach the capital, Niamey. Now it's stuck there because the Niger government is reluctant to provide the escort needed to get it through hundreds of miles of jihadist territory in both Niger and Burkina Faso before it gets to the Togo border and then the export terminal on the coast. ...


    This reads like something from a Tom Clancy novel B-plot.... the thing that proceeds quietly in the background and then goes absolutely bugnuts at the worse possible time in the A-plot and suddenly escalates everything.

    Does anyone know what's up with book 3 of Redick's Fire Sacraments? It's been a long while since book 2.

    I think Redick is pretty underrated on the fantasy scene tbh.


    Welp, guess I could have searched the answer before posting here. He posted on his blog in 2023, and it sounds like a trifecta of:
    1. Writer's block
    2. Chronic pain/injury
    3. Money

    He wrote: "I'm also, frankly, broke, which means I'm putting in more hours in the day job than I'd prefer." Which is tough to read — being a successful author should grant enough income to live on!

    But, the silver lining is that, as of 2023, he was 80% done with writing the book and was very happy with it. 2026 release perhaps?



    Dammit.

    There's also Great Balls of Fire!


    It's wild to me that they made a movie about Jerry Lee Lewis, included his marriage to his underage cousin (once removed), and everyone just was like "Oh okay, no problem"...1989 was still in the throes of "It's the 80's, anything is fine is we romanticize it"

    Also, it will never not amuse me that Lewis hated that film because it was based on a book written by that very wife (apparently the truth was not to his liking), but still found it in him to praise Quaid's performance.


    Quaid is very very good in the roll, whatever one feels about the underlying story, he absolutely kills it on the performance.

    There's also Great Balls of Fire! and Quest for Fire. Fire & Ice if we include racy animation.


    ...i still think Streets of Fire is your best bet tho.

    of the three movies STREETS has probably aged the bestest.

    Unbound Worlds now redirects to the PRH website, so that Top 100 fantasy link no longer works. Here's a very similar one though: https://reedsy.com/discovery/blog/best-fantasy-series

    Because some mobile browsers don't resize and it makes the thread unreadable.

    Just out of curiosity, why is it necessary to spoiler big pics on this forum? They go off the page and don't cause the text to unwrap, and they get resized in mobile browsers. I don't mind doing it; just asking.

    There is a word to describe that pic, I just found one in the depths of my convulsing brain. It's DISTURBING but in a funny way.

    If you're keeping score, I think my conversation (in a WoT thread, I think) with that one noob-troll about how to get banned from Malazan is worth a few. (i.e. "I recommend telling Malaclypse he's a douchebag.")

    When the new order rises, lazy posters will be among the first to be purged.

    Good call with the spoilers tags. I didn't want to add them because it makes it extra work to read posts :D
