That said, I loved his first two Culture books and couldn't put them down.<br /><br />Also, I know the plot is a secret but I'm thinking perhaps the 'particular war drone' you're talking about may be Sniper before he went to Spatterjay?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-86712107599433901682012-11-02T11:00:20.911+00:002012-11-02T11:00:20.911+00:00Yes, you did miss something.
