I simply cannot wait to read FReeper Travis Mcgee's book, Enemies Foreign And Domestic. I loved John Ross's Unintended Consequences, and Travis seems to be carrying on in that fine tradition ably.

You'll love it. It's all extremely realistic, except that the part about the space aliens landing in the amusement park with the dinosaurs seemed a bit of a stretch.

CommanderK'ru-leq! Get the blasters! There are great beasts here we believed extinct! They say that we taste like chicken!

Hehe. I've got a suggestion for YOU, Arch. About a decade and a half ago, Barry Sadler (The Ballad Of The Green Berets) wrote a series of novels before his death, called The Eternal Mercenary. They dealt with Casca Rufio Longinus, the Roman Legionary who pierced the side of Christ on the cross. For his sin, he was cursed to wander the Earth forever, unable to die, and taking part in wars and battles throughout history.

He fought in the Wermacht in WWII, in the Special Forces in Viet Nam, with the French Foreign Legion at Dien Bien Phu, with the British in the trenches of WWI, shipped as a pirate with Blackbeard, and rode by the side of Genghis Kahn, just to name a few of his adventures. In all of them, we see the events of history unfold through Casca's eyes as he travels the world, waiting for the day of Christ's return, when he can finally know peace again.

He is not shown as some super-powered being, just as a normal Soldier of Fortune, albiet one with a GREAT DEAL of experience.

Check it out sometime. I'm sure a few copies are floating around. I've got the entire series, and I ain't partin'with it!

That wasn't real???? Does that mean the part where PeeWee Herman becomes the Master of the Universe wasn't real either?
