News:
A lot of people describe Scalzi’s Old Man's War novels as military science fiction, but I would classify its sequel Zoë’s Tale as a space opera. It’s a story about, well, Zoë, a teenage girl whose parents are invited to take leadership roles in building a colony on a new planet. Zoë is an enthusiastic member of the group sent to colonize Roanoke, despite the risks—and the risks are considerable even before the political machinations of greater powers boil to the surface.

True, true. But I figure this is going to get complicated... and it seems as if Nick is going to be the crux of things. Which should be interesting, since he's been portrayed as just a bit naive. Do you think he'll learn, or will the good guy get it in the end?

With Legs racing through the pedestrians to save him, you have to wonder... what will happen to Nick? And now, you can vote! Will the banana-wielding terrorist chick choke his ardor? Or will he get a kiss, perhaps for saving her from Legs? What will happen... when the rock-a-stack drops?

Howard Tayler / So we're practicing for hand-to-hand urban chases, right?

Anyone want to bet what the Toughs will actually be facing? Powered armor, a tank, maybe someone will blow a wall out and send in a swarm of workbots? Or... how about a crowd of angry shoppers, looking for bargains?
I just have a sneaky feeling that getting ready for one thing practically guarantees that is not what they'll be facing. Kind of the umbrella principle -- if you carry an umbrella, it won't rain.

I'm still waiting to see... the fact that the shopping woman and the ninja and the security cameras all tied together hints that they are going to be back, but I'm still not quite sure what their target is. But we'll see whether the Toughs manage to destroy the historic mall in the process of protecting it or not. And will Nick get a kiss?

Howard Tayler / What's that tattoo on Tagon's arm?
« on: February 22, 2010, 05:07:22 AM »
Idle wonder, but does anyone know what the tattoo is?

Howard Tayler / Here's looking at you...
« on: February 21, 2010, 02:03:38 PM »
What do you think? Are Tagon's new eyes more attractive? Or just the same old?

Please read the interview. I think you'll quickly see why I used that topic line.

Apologies for any unwitting offense. As Howard points out, I don't think anybody looks down their noses at SM. I was attempting to play off his humor, and clearly failed.
I hope you enjoyed the interview. I certainly did. All I was trying to do was get people to read it.
Again, my apologies for offending you.

In which Howard explains why he is a paranoid poor country cousin?
No, not really. But there is a great interview with Howard over here!

Howard Tayler / Re: The name's Tagon. Kaff Tagon.
« on: February 04, 2010, 03:50:40 AM »Is it me, or is Tagon channeling Bond? The formalwear, the consorting with married women, the jumping off balconies...But did he visit with Q beforehand so that he has the right gadgets?

« on: February 04, 2010, 03:49:40 AM »Heh. I wonder if taunting passerby's or getting chased is part of the right of passage.
Bonus points, definitely bonus points. Although if you get caught, that's not good...

Yeah! I was thinking of the people who climb skyscrapers (and sometimes get arrested) or skydive in cities (and again, get arrested). Probably a rite of passage -- drop through the mall during shopping hours and join the gang...

Howard Tayler / Re: So what's the deal with the guy attacking?
« on: February 01, 2010, 02:08:52 AM »
Y'a sure that's a guy?
I'm thinking job application. I mean, how do you apply to join the Mercenaries? Or maybe it's Tagon's dad's friend just dropping in? He does have his best foot forward, it looks like?
We shall see!
