Oh yeah absolutely enjoyed that book, and wished I read more of the Asia saga by James Clavell to know how it fits in that even bigger story. Cause I really enjoyed the sort of chess game that was the plot (and reminded me of the best Epic fantasies in that way)
And no I did not know there was another adaptation of this story coming our way. Did see the previous miniseries from Paramount on blue-ray. With John Rhys-Davies (the actor who played Gimli in LOTR) as Rodrigues as an absolute highlight.
I try to limit my book buying already for a few years, by wanting to read a book at least three times before I buy it. (doesn’t always work, but at least it keeps me from impulse buying every book that sounds vaguely interesting.) Also I reread and lent from the library. so I do not always read new books exclusively. And once I read a book I wonder if I see myself rereading it, if yes it can stay, if no it can find a new home by secondhand bookstore or free little library.
Murtagh, by Christopher Paolini the next book in the world of Alagaësia. A world I really enjoy to read in. So more books and seeing more of that world is something I always am happy about.
might be in part because at the Dutch Pen Show they were part of the goodiebag.
I love your theory. The real world one looks true to me as well. But it is your in-world one that sounds so intriguing. And quite possible true.
the biggest weak spot I can think of is that some of the ferengi gathered at the convention to discuss the Gamma Quadrant (DS9 The Nagus) are wearing headskirts. Of course your (in-world) explanation about them not feeling secure enough to go bare, could work always. And I am not sure of their roles in the ferengi society either.
nope not all series, have continued stories. That is also why I wanted to read the rest over time, to get how it fits in the overall story of the series.
