My apologies.
I went lo...Actually, I was mistaken. My apologies.<br /><br />I went looking for the review last night, and after I gave up, I noticed your review of Twisted Metal on the back of the dust cover of Blood and Iron. It was then that I realised that it was this positive review of his book by you (especially the bit about "rip-snorting robot total war") that motivated me to give Prador Moon a try! Somehow I got the whole thing mixed up in my head - memory can be a funny thing sometimes!<br /><br />(If it is any consolation, I liked Prador Moon so much that I had ordered your entire back catalogue from Amazon before I finished it, and I now pre-order your books as soon as they become available to purchase, which reminds me: Amazon informed me 2 weeks ago that I would be getting my copy of The Departure on September 10th instead of October 19th - Yay!)<br /><br />Duracell.Duracellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600380097666044704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29616976.post-52169930214386020602011-06-01T13:05:51.656+01:002011-06-01T13:05:51.656+01:00Really?

Yeah. I am a big fan of Ballantyne's...Hi Neal,<br /><br />Yeah. I am a big fan of Ballantyne's work, and I agree with your comments regarding Blood and Iron. Very well written story; deceptively simple and easy to read style; engaging, intriguing and enjoyable on multiple levels. <br /><br />(BTW, I read my first Asher on the basis of a positive review by Tony Ballantyne!)<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Duracell.Duracellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14600380097666044704noreply@blogger.com
