Napoleon's Marshals by R F Delderfield.
Yes, I am a history nerd.
I recently finished the latest novel in the 1632 series by Eric Flint. (West Virginian town from 2000 gets transported back in time to 1632 Germany in the middle of the Thirty Years War.)
After Napoleon's Marshals I aim to read all of the Men-at-Arms books that relate to the various parts of Napoleon's army. (I had to Inter-Library Loan most of them).
Then it's back to fiction. I've got three books lined up:
Secrets of the Fire Sea by Stephen Hunt - the latest in a series of Steampunk Fantasy novels set in one of the most unique literary worlds I've ever encountered.
Burning the Ice by Laura J Mixon - Hard Science Fiction by an author I discovered a few months ago when I read Up Against It by M J Locke (same author, different pen names)
Count to a Trillion by John C Wright - Science Fiction that's hard to summarize. here's the Amazon blurb:
"John C. Wright burst upon the SF scene a decade ago with the Golden Age
trilogy, an innovative space opera. He went on to write fantasy novels,
including the popular Orphans of Chaos trilogy. And now he returns to
space opera in
Count to a Trillion.
After the collapse of
the world economy, a young boy grows up in what used to be Texas as a
tough duellist for hire, the future equivalent of a hired gun. But even
after the collapse, there is space travel, and he leaves Earth to have
adventures in the really wide open spaces. But he is quickly catapulted
into the more distant future, while humanity, and Artificial
Intelligence, grows and changes and becomes a kind of superman."
Everything I've heard about this book makes me think I've found a new great author.
Now I have to decide which one to read first.
