and here as a bonus for the military airplane autists...here have a Mack Maloney:
What in the hell? That is the wildest Wikipedia entry I've ever read.
They keep using "Mother" without explanation.
While alone, Schofield is shot and killed. He later wakes up, found to have been accidentally resurrected by his attacker,
I hate when that happens.
That's enough to make me want to read the book. How is this narrative tied together and are the fantasy elements explained?
There are basically no "fantasy" elements, the book keeps you on edge with every page, its the most tense book i have ever read, i fr could NOT LAY IT DOWN until it was thru. Stuff why u should read the book:
- Liquid nitrogen hand granades
- magnetic pneumatic shootable grappeling hook
- French special forces beeing assholes
- more Deus ex machina moments than i ever saw before in a singular book
So it's a beach romance for nerds. I'm interested.
I got it from wikipedia, so no clue.
Oh I didn't expect you to have answers. I don't think serious fans of a novel like this understand that NCD is satire...
Ice Station is sitting on my bookshelf and I think you’re severely underestimating nerds who enjoy over the top action.
It's entirely possible you are correct, I'll check it out.
It is on Audible, and I've got too many credits anyway... But it's also over 15 hours
Incredible.
That's pretty bonkers.
The ancient wonders series or whatever they're called is wild too. It's like some kind of unified conspiracy theory adventure.
Y'all gotta read "Ice Station" You got Spaceships, killer whales, hovercrafts and French Baddies.
Just amazing.
Yeah - while Temple was my first exposure, but Ice Station is the best place to start, and up there with his best work. Later stuff goes from silly fun to just... lost.
Reilly books are one hell of a ride

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
