Because it's easy - another "Scorpion" review

I wrote 450 words on the "two birds" book. And in my head the "outline" has taken an interesting turn. I think we have a love triangle (which shatters my hopes of telling that story in 30k or so... Godsdamnit).

Anyway, here's something that made me smile at my desk today.

"Scorpion is an outstanding alternate history novel, rich in scope; one that is presented so comprehensively and is written with such authority that it feels as though it might be a historically factual piece. It is a tale peopled by characters who, regardless of how well drawn they are, still have undercurrents and backstories to them that made me want to delve deeper into their lives and their thoughts."

Read the rest of the review here. Thanks, Lisa!

(And I just received a delivery of my wristbands for "Counterpunch" and the "Kampfgruppe Voinov" - both are pretty awesome.)

Once is an accident, twice is coincidence, three times is a trend. Detours = novels. *grin*

Congrats on the the great review.

Aleksandr Voinov There's just something about triangles at the moment... (I blame the muse).

Tracy Funny how triangles suck hairy goat balls in real life, but are (well, can be, if handled well by someone who knows what he's--or she's--doing) so much fun in books...

Aleksandr Voinov Oh definitely. We get different things from different people... making the decision what we really want is not easy at the best of times.
