my next tattoo (this and the grocery list) discovered in this thread.
Uh, tattoo?
Bah... tattoos are old hat, I'm going to carve that list into my chest...
funny, I always tought, that The Skinner was placed before Cormack series in the timeline :-)
Quite surprise for me.... :-)
So Cormac is nearly 1000 years old by the time of Hilldiggers.
Is he still on the go?
interesting! i thought the skinner/spatterjay books were before/concurrent with line war/cormac series.... although given what you told me in the pub, perhaps i shouldn't be so.
face tattoo aka the don't you dare forget this list.
mutual friend had to tattoo his name backwards on his face because of his cerebral hemmorage/forgetfulness.looks in the mirror and reboots bicameral mind.
to Paul:
Since Cormac was almost superman in the Brassman (last book I read from Polity series), I would bet that he is still on the go... :-)
Kocourek... wait till you read Line War ;-)
Paul: well, I have to wait for the czech translation :-(.
I got used to it and now I don't want to start reading in English, in the middle of the storyline :-)
Any plans to release more books on the Kindle? I've read both Gridlinked and the Skinner and now I am hooked - but I loathe the idea of having to turn an actually page!
Very good. Did you ever slot the various short stories in chronologically, too?
Thanks,

I haven't as yet, well not in the actual chronology here, but some are finding their places. For example, Alien Archaeology plays its part in The Technician, since Penny Royaol is one of the characters.
