Hey Andy - I've spent most of the last week on holiday on the Isle of Skye, during which I've also managed to read all of the Armageddon's Song series! I've really enjoyed the military aspects (although I feel we're a little differently ...

RE: Armageddon's Song

<r> Thanks Phoenix,<br/>

I am unsure as to whether CrackSabbath is referring to my 'Armageddon's Song' series of books or Harvey's 'Black Effect'. I certainly have no Americans using British terms and phrases apart from one character who is trying to impress a female sergeant in the REME by ...

RE: Books - recommendations

<r> As I state in the foreword of volume 1 of Armageddon's Song,'Stand-To', that I know jack-all about naval warfare, but I do a laymans description and all but volume 4 have a naval element (Volume 4 is all about the final land battle for Europe).<br/>
Here is an example from the Wiki site of some ...

<r> I am afraid that the place names may be real but the terrain was in my head for a large chunk of the series. <br/>

<r> I am very glad you are enjoying it. The answer to the puzzle is that my brain was suffering through decades of neglect. I did not finish school but joined the British Army as a boy soldier at 15 and until 2004 my jobs were all practical and outdoors, with not a great deal of creative writing ...

Replacing original editions of Armageddon's Song

<t> Volume 1 and 2 are both chunky sized books and neither of them are my best work, although I wrote them in the belief my grammar and punctuation were perfect. Nick Gill explained the error of my ways and both books need to be re-edited now that the series is done. The problem there though is that ...

My main problem is trying to crack the file size and retain quality but reduce the maps byte size. It pushes up the price of the paperbacks and I would prefer to keep them low (less is more, right?)The printers take 90% of the royalties as it is.<br/>
