[close] The world, spinning and turning in turmoil. Every movement is judged by fate and every breath counts one less moment of life. Two worlds, both split in half by the controversies of their inhabitants. Back and forth, like night and day, they collide their teeth with one another. In the same way they are divided they are oblivious. While they focus all determination on overruling the other, they fail to notice the coming cold. Their time, fleeting with the summer's warmth. Try as you might to think reasonably with these savages. May you plan every strategy and guide your actions with knowledge. However, in this world of biting maws and clashing claws, no well thought out battle plan will keep you alive.... only Instinct .

[close] we know they're here - and many witness reports don't sound too good. yet we have people proclaiming the universal goodness of all aliens - despite the fact they can often be seen in the context of having their own military. some might say we deserve bad aliens and that the bad stuff happens to us because we are bad inside in some way ..apologists try to write bad aliens off as fabrications of the 1950's military black ops - yet the historic record shows bad aliens and underground bases going back to the days of scuti ardenti or flying shields. there are plenty books written from all points of view on the alien presence - but some people despite the facts can never allow us to think of them as being in any way bad .. that we are demonising them - yet some behave like demons. not all though, some. aliens looks at the big picture and may take us out of our comfort zone

[close] The focus of this group is historical fiction set in Ancient and Medieval eras(with some post Medieval), in any geographical location. Preference is given to themes of: engaging politics, sprawling battles, drugs(errr .. mead) and debauchery. If authors like Robyn Young, Bernard Cornwell, Steven Pressfield resonate with you, this group is designed for you. If you are bursting in your seams to discuss their books, please do come in. AUTHORS welcome as READERS ONLY. Limited opportunity for self promotion exists in A&M! No romantic melodrama books please. Want to gush about this great Victorian-era romance novel you've discovered and had been smitten with? Not the right group for you. We encourage freedom of opinion on books and authors in this group. As long as the opinion is respectful and harmless and breaks no Group rules. Don't feel you can't be honest about a book or author. No matter how popular the book or author is. Our Group Motto, courtesy of George S. Patton, is: If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
