I've read some cracking books recently.
The final book of a trilogy by Mark Lawrence,The emperor of thorns.
The twelve children of Paris by Tim Willocks.(part of a series too but can be read as a standalone)
I'm halfway through the latest Christian Cameron novel The ill made Knight,also a good read.

bondsman said:The lies of Locke lamorra by Scott lynch is excellent
The follow up Red seas under red skies, isnt quite as good but worth reading.The 3rd book The republic of thieves is due end of October.

Always outnumbered, Always outgunned - Walter Mosley. You won't read a better book.
James Mitchener weaves factual events into gripping stories, Chesapeake being outstanding, one of a very few i have read twice. Len Deighton's "Bomber" and "Goodbye Mickeymouse" very powerful, especially the raid on Dresden.

Agreed lynch had had severe depression which delayed republic but I've read the pre release excerpt and looks good. Should be interesting to finally meet sabetha.

Amazing to think it is coming up to the 100th year anniversary of when that book was written.
Bit depressing really that you're right and it is just as relevant today as it was a century ago.
