Yay for new stuff! (see Brandon's blog) Also, is there a story behind Koloss Head-munching day? Is this Brandon's birthday activity of choice?
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.

I understand her perspective, but that doesn't make her less annoying. But I honestly think it's a mark of great writing that I can be really truly irritated by a fictional character.^Agree.
There are now links to two different Liar of Partinel downloads on the first post for all of you to enjoy.
I thought it was a good book. No need to worry.

For example, right now i am developing a story that revolves around the "magic" of a god "blessing" his people with the knowledge of how they are going to die.I like this idea. A few thoughts for you:
and if this is a religious gift how does it tie into religion?When do they find out how they die? At birth or maybe some type of coming-of-age ceremony?
also, within the society, how would this knowledge of how u r going to die affect how people interact?How would people know how everyone is going to die? Is there a public registry or does only the government know? Could people lie about it?
