Mil-SF with Mecha!


Some recent acquisitions that I acquired. The Partlow books are highly recommended as being for being so very moreish. The stories grip you by the throat and won't let go.

Splashdown is the first novel for the Land & Sea series, which is a new mecha based tabletop wargame coming soon. More info here, miniatures and more are coming too.

Pardoe starts the story very much in the style of Tom Clancy. Then about halfway into the first book he takes the story up to the next level, making you feel the hurt and pain that the characters are going through.

Book three, chapter twenty-eight really moved me. I'll say no more. I will leave reviews when I have time on Amazon and Goodreads. Again, recommended.

Spammers Gonna Spam


It seems my blog has become a popular site to spam. God only knows why, I'm hardly a high profile site. Of course I've always had some spam, along with spam of course, but in recent weeks there has been more than usual.

Must be spammer time on the internet. Cue for a ditty...

Spam time for Hackers everywhere
Spamming links makes them happy and gay
They're spamming to a faster pace
Look out, here come the spammer race

Or it's just spammer time! Do the dance.

Anyway, the point of this post is to report that I not only found the spammers that got through, who I then reported to Google for spamming –because service brings citizenship – but I also found a whole lot of posts marked as spam in a spam folder that I didn't know I had.

I should add, Google changes things around, and I knew I could no longer see a tag for spam and wondered where it had gone, but I couldn't be arsed to search for it. 

What can I say? 

Life's too short to be chasing irritating as fuck nonsense when I can be doing other stuff. Also, I've allowed all the non spam through, just because. Be rude not to..

To add some value to this infodump.

I've started a new draft of Two Moons (the next Gate Walker story). That's it. Catch you on the bounce.
