For those who only read one of the story lines, I highly recommend the other to fill in the gap between books in your favorite.

Well, I read both series (all of RFC's), but I just don't go into the HH forum. Sorry about that.

Umm...could I switch my numbers backwards, and be 25 instead? ;)


Chief, "Actually you can change you age, done so you can change if your birthday changes your category, but doing so would wreck statistical validity in this survey."

Sorry KNick! If age is determined by what you feel in your bones, then I may be much closer in age to you than you think ;)

That was the problem. On that particular day I was feeling about 100, instead of my usual 30 or so. It was simply a bad day. The next day I was feeling much better: well under my actual 60.

I got to wondering why you don't post on the HH forum, when you obviously have ideas to contribute. Any idea is generally welcome. We might shoot them down. We might argue about them. But we seldom laugh at them.

It would be nice if those who were willing would go to

User Control Panel > Profile > Edit Profile

and add their location to their sign in.

It would be nice also if the newcomers voted for their age in the Safehold and Honorverse forums.

I will be ten on Thursday (6+4) and I have read all the Honor books to date and I love them. I am on book 5 of Safehold and I do not particularly entertaining. In my opinion there is way to many pages and scenarios devoted to reasoning, rationalizations, Tech stuff, and just plain wasted pages. I know that some such are required for a base and explanation but too much. Example: what does all the scenes devoted to Irys and Coris have to do with anything? Ex2: Coris's trip to Zion was described in great detail which wasn't needed and when he got there nothing happened.
