The Right To Arm Bears by Gordon R. Dickson

This includes Dickson's Spacepaw and Spacial Delivery. Also included is a story by Ben Bova. All involve Dickson's bear-like Dilbians. I remember reading the Dickson pieces but the Bova story was new to me. All involve a human dropped into an unfamiliar culture who is forced to survive by his wits and...well read it. You won't regret it. Dickson and Bova are always worth your time.

The cover is neat. Love it but it really has nothing to do with the contents. Same for the title.

If he will support it in Chicago, He'll support it anywhere.

What's going on in Charlotte isn't a protest.

It's a riot. The local and state government need to shut it down by whatever means necessary.

Prince of Outcasts by S. M. Stirling

The latest in Stirling's Amberverse series. I've not read one yet that I haven't liked. It progresses the story without usual padding you get late in other series. It is up to Stirling's usual high standard. If you are new to the Amberverse this is not the book for you. Start with Dies the Fire. You'll find your way here eventually. Highly Recommended.

Home Invader Shot in Georgia

In Georgia, a homeowner was awakened by the noise of her front door being kicked in. She saw three evil gits coming through the door and went to retrieve her handgun. she opened fire killing one. the others returned fire as they fled. No one else was injured. The moral of this story is if you hear your door being kicked in, take your gun with you when you investigate.

Over at the GayPatriot, they call it virtue signalling. I just call it being a f**king hypocrite.

Monster Hunter Memoirs: Sinners by John Ringo and Larry Correia
Hey it's John Ringo playing in Larry Correia's world and just as good as you would expect. I shelled out for the eARC, and there are a few typos*. They're the only thing wrong with it. You can buy the eARC or wait 'til December. Your choice.


*Not a bitch. Normal since the eARC is unproofed.

Well, one out of two ain't bad.

Police said the incident Sunday afternoon in Shawnee began when two suspects hit a woman in the head from behind as she was putting her child in her car.

Shawnee police Maj. Dan Tennis says a person in the parking lot who tried to help was shot several times. Another good Samaritan then shot one of the suspects, who died at the scene.

The second suspect fled but was caught near the store.

The female victim and the other person who was shot were both hospitalized in critical condition.

BUT didn't our anti-gun media tell us that a good guy with a gun is useless and only endangers the innocent? Too bad he didn't nail the second evil git as well.

I'm pretty sure a finger was involved here.

A U.S. Homeland Security officer responding to the shooting also was injured; he was shot in the leg when a U.S. marshal accidentally discharged his weapon, Dodson said.

Accident in that he didn't intend to shoot his companion. Negligent in that had his finger been off the trigger his companion wouldn't be walking with a limp.

Germanica by Robert Conroy

Another alternate history from Conroy. This time the Nazis withdraw into an Alpine Redoubt in hopes that they can draw the war out so the Allies will agree to a conditional surrender so Nazi Germany can survive. If you've read Conroy's other novels then this will offer little surprise. It is standard Conroy. That is not a complaint. It is a recommendation.

The Crazy Years

Safety Warning

Cops shoot an armed suspect. While they are giving his first aid a crowd gathers and people start shooting at them. Fortunately there were no additional injuries. This is seriously crazy.

...at people on the other side and kill the wrong person, it isn't a fucking accident. It's murder.

Oh Yeah.

The GOP's problem is that people want their free shit, and will vote for a lyin, cheatin, murderin, stroke-havin, bribe-takin, becankled harridan and reinforce the failed policies of a feckless beta-male/manchurian-candidate president simply because the other guy is a white blowhard who says mean things. - Ed Friedman

Null-ABC by H. Beam Piper

If I've read this before, it was so long ago I've forgotten it. Picked it up for free over at Project Gutenberg. I started reading Piper in the ACE editions. After Heinlein, he is my favorite of the old timers. This is dated but the tale of a society divided between the literate and illiterate and the conflict between them is well done. It's a quick read and highly recommended.
