Okay you crazy kids. Listen up! Pay attention. There's going to be a test at the end of this and you better not fail!
I'm getting ready to repost an article by an author I adore, David Gerrold. It's about his impressions of Robert Heinlein and a bunch of other stuff. But before I do that, let me explain something.
Several people have said that Blaze of Glory reminds them of David Gerrold's War Against the Chtorr series. I suppose it does, although my imagination was far more limited than Mr. Gerrold's in his books. I admit that I did read them. I admit that I love them. I also admit that the medium-sized versions of the maggies have a passing resemblance to the Chtorr.
But that's it.
You want to read a faced-paced, character-driven novel that was almost made into a movie by Wesley Snipes, then read Blaze of Glory. And then read the essay at the end that explains the horrid story why, involving Reggie Bannister, a fire, a lawyer in a shark skin suit, and a naieve young soldier.
You want to read grand saga of world domination by a supposed alien invasion, then please go grab Mr. Gerrold's series. You can find them linked here at his site.
To summarize.
Blaze of Glory good.
Blaze of Glory compared to War Against the Chtorr- outstandingly good, but maybe they were smoking a little something.
Blaze of Glory for only $2.99.
Blaze of Glory on audibook. Listen to the opening chapter for free.
Cover art courtesy of professional photographer and digital artist Danielle Tunstall. Ask me about how easy it is to work with her.
Cover design by me.
And if you really want something special, try out the new novel by the author of God's and Generals and The Killer Angels, Jeff Shaara, also called Blaze of Glory, about the Battle of Shiloh. I already ordered my copy.
