I just looked it up and you're absolutely right. I cannot believe with the number of people who've read that book before publication - including me at least seven times - that that mistake made it through. Thank you for pointing it out. We try mightily to catch such mistakes, and inevitabely something slips through. You are the first to find this one, but I'm sure you won't be the last. (less)

Elon Musk and the Fallacy of Faux Authority

Elon Musk has made multiple headlines in the last few weeks, none of which had anything to do with electric cars or flying to Mars.  First, out of the blue, he posted a poll on Twitter for his solution to the war in Ukraine, which basically involved Ukraine ceding Crimea to Russia, the United Nations overseeing a vote for the rest of terrain Russia has taken, and Ukraine formally promising to

Brad Taylor answered Ken Matthews's question: Brad Taylor
Hopefully, but really, that's not a question for me but for Hollywood. While I'd like it to happen, whether there will be a movie or TV series is not up to me.
Brad Taylor answered Jade Saul's question: Brad Taylor
Yes, but not actually on the ground. There are plenty of photos, news reports, and dissedent statements on the place. It's fairly well known, and in fact can be found using simple tools like Google Earth.

Quotes by Brad Taylor  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“When she had asked him how he was able to kill two men with his bare hands, he had gone into asshole mode, telling her not to look a gift horse in the mouth.”
Brad Taylor, One Rough Man
tags: heroes

“In my mind, the world is split neatly into two groups: meat-eaters and plant-eaters. Nothing is wrong with either one. Both are necessary. One contributes much, much more to society than the other. The other is necessary to protect the contribution. I’m a meat-eater. My existence allows the plant-eater to contribute. Some plant-eaters, living in a so-called civilized world, call me evil, but at the end of the day, when the bad man comes and the plant-eater’s praying for a miracle, I’m what shows up.”
Brad Taylor, One Rough Man

“he wasn’t a bad guy, as far as assholes go.”
Brad Taylor, Operator Down

John Thanks for the add and Dewey kicks ass! Won your book, No Fortunate Son, through this site. Merry X-mas and peace to you and your family.


Samuel Can't wait for The Polaris Protocol, the "epic threat" of the story looks highly unique and asymmetric.


Bernard Cenney A fantastic writer! Inspired, accurate, engrossing, clever, and fun!One Rough Man
