At least it's not in German.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Half-full guy you are, eh?

Ohhhh shit, son. I like this already. Which probably makes me a Certified Middle-Aged Person, but I don't care, this is awesome. Good recco.
I also don't know a damn thing about ships, so I'm trying to reference some background information just so I can better wrap my head around the descriptions.
Please love yourself.

That's ok, the guy who wrote it supposedly didn't know much either. Which is interesting, because most of the nautical stuff in the books is considered accurate.

Oh, matron!
This has been on my Amazon wishlist for years. I figured I needed cheering up, and this should be fun, as well as a little sad.

Finally, finally, finished "The Gap" series.
My original comment stands - a good tale that could have been told in half the pages. I definitely felt there was a rush to "get the story told" at the end of the series. If Donaldson had been as compact with the other 4 ½ books as he was with the finale, it would have been great.
Up next, because I need a thriller:
Adam Cassidy is twenty-six and a low level employee at a high-tech corporation who hates his job. When he manipulates the system to do something nice for a friend, he finds himself charged with a crime. Corporate Security gives him a choice: prison - or become a spy in the headquarters of their chief competitor, Trion Systems.
They train him. They feed him inside information. Now, at Trion, he's a star, skyrocketing to the top. He finds he has talents he never knew he possessed. He's rich, drives a Porsche, lives in a fabulous apartment, and works directly for the CEO. He's dating the girl of his dreams.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Ever notice you can scroll through this thread and just look at the cover images and usually know who posted it?

This defines "Popcorn Book." A ton of fun, with a great twist at the end. If you're looking for some light reading, you'll enjoy this.

Looking forward to this one. I'm on the list for it at the local library. Might just buy a copy. I think hubby would enjoy it, too.

I am reading Dead Wake by the same writer. Good book so far.

I love Larson's books. I got hooked on them with "Devil in the White City."
