AlisLandale 05/30/19 2:48:25 PM #51:	Autonomous Its this cyber-punky sci fi story about a pirate who steals and synthesizes drugs from Pharma corps to sell on the black market. But she sold this one productivity drug that hadnt finished coming out of drug trials yet and now theres this weird epidemic going on where people are working themselves to death and shes being tracked down by this police/military force thats basically what if the state could enforce IP protection with guns and robots?

One of the most brutal books I've read. The stories are all really good but ~~The lemon tree~~ And ~~The one about the GF/wife that joins the green berets~~ Are both brutal. On topic: Knight of Jerusalem. About half way through and it's pretty good so far. Part of a trilogy about a dramatized version of Balian of Ibelins time before/during the crusades. I didnt read TTTC for pleasure. Im a teacher, and it was one of our texts. I didnt particularly like the book, but it was great to teach. And the students seemed to like it. That's fair. I read it in school myself, doubt I would have came across it otherwise. It's a brutal book but boy did it leave a lasting impression. 14 years later and I still think about it from time to time. --- Typical gameFAQers are "Complainers that always complain about those who complain about real legitimate complaints."-Joker_X <cite>Zeeak4444 posted [p:922597033] in Most recen...

Medussa 05/31/19 11:47:13 AM #68:	Zeeak4444 posted... I've only read that trilogy and the twins trilogy. Any other recommendations from that universe you can throw my way? basically anything with Margaret Weis' name on it, lol. She wrote the entire main series (usually along with Tracy Hickman), except one trilogy by Jean Rabe which is worse, but necessary. Her side stuff is also really good, as are a lot of her non-dragonlance works (Deathgate is probably my third favorite novel series ever. The first 3 Darksword are great, 4 is... not.) The other series are much more hit and miss, and can be read or skipped depending only on how deep you want to go. a lot of them are telling prequel stories about characters in the main story, others are barely connected at all. I can't remember specific books well enough to suggest beyond that, but I do remember liking Jeff Grubb and Doug Niles a lot, and Jean Rabe eventually. --- Boom! That's right, this is all happening!
