But we learn almost nothing about ship except that he's added on some grow rooms. Maybe FH wanted Ship to be mysterious, but I was left craving more. I only read it a few months ago.martinburo wrote:Freakzilla, I think you really do need to reread TJI. Ship is in about every chapter, talking to all the good guys. Well, I'm not quite sure that Flattery is a good guy, but at least he's more misguided than bad on purpose.
Baraka, how about ebay?
Left curious about what exactly he'd been up to with the history of humanity? I was left wanting more of that myself, but I guess it wasn't really necessary to the story, and FH figured it was better left up to people's imaginations.Freakzilla wrote:But we learn almost nothing about ship except that he's added on some grow rooms.

We'd better stop talking about this before Pinky & The Brian start writing VoidShip books. They'd probably do a 12 book series for each incarnation of humanity.A Thing of Eternity wrote:Left curious about what exactly he'd been up to with the history of humanity?

I was thinking the same thing as I read your first comment. DON'T give them any ideas!!!Freakzilla wrote:...Freakzilla wrote:...I was left craving more.

But, I assume part of the copyright still belongs to Ransom (Chig had mentioned that Ransom is only a couple years older than Brian, and considering all the time Frank spent with him "coffee every morning" gotta wonder if some jealously not involved).SandChigger wrote:I was thinking the same thing as I read your first comment.

You really should finish D:V, the ending is great.Secher Nbiw wrote:Apparently I'm the only person who loved Godmakers. It was fun, it was light, it had a lot of Dune-elements locked into the story...
the Tleilaxu were in there, you even had the Bene Gesserit making an appearance...
but the novel I really disliked... Destination Void... I could not get through that one. It was just too much gobbly-gook and mumbo jumbo. I like the Organic Mental Cores as a concept... but after that... it just failed to keep me interested.
I got to the end eventually, but the whole trip wasn't a pleasant one. It just dragged.Freakzilla wrote: You really should finish D:V, the ending is great.
It's got a lot of technobable about their attempt at building an AI, but if you can get past that or understand that, it's good.Tleszer wrote:I just acquired a used copy of Destination: Void for $1. Perhaps after I finish A Clash of Kings I'll start reading it. Is it really bad? Regardless, I'm sure its worth the $1 I spent on it.
No, no! You must continue to A Storm of Swords and A Feast for Crows and only then read D:V!Tleszer wrote:I just acquired a used copy of Destination: Void for $1. Perhaps after I finish A Clash of Kings I'll start reading it. Is it really bad? Regardless, I'm sure its worth the $1 I spent on it.
OK! I'll continue with A Song of Ice and Fire. So far I think my favorite character is Tyrion. I like how almost no one is safe from his wit.orald wrote:No, no!

Uh, shit, I'm locked between FH and GRRM, help!
I hope ADwD actually gets out by the end of the year, I need my Jon&Arya&Tyrion fix baaaaad...
