I cannot find it.
Can anyone help me, please?

Hello everyone. I've read some kisslightnovels and some of the most famous webnovels (Worm, Mother of Learning, Knight of Zombies). I still hear some very critical words about novels about kisslightnovels (which I understand, between the incomplete and the trash). I'm not a big fan of superhero novels (comics are enough already), but I was hoping that some of you will share what you've read or read that's available online for free.

Well almost....only missed Wardenclyffe since I had started this quest back in June of 2017. Almost finished 3 years to the month but I waited for Signalz to be released.

It was a great experience going through the Secret History in order even though I read many of the books already. The ICE series books were very good and getting to add in Last Christmas was a great addition that luckily fit into my sequence. It was also great to see P F Winslow again before the end too!

The last few months I found it very interesting to think about and try to parallel some of the current happenings in our world. Made some of it feel real.

Thank you Mr. Wilson for your dedication and efforts to the Secret Histories. I enjoyed it thoroughly from beginning to end!

As audiobooks have grown in popularity publishers have come to realize that the narrator is almost as important to the series as the author. I can’t imagine the Dresden books without James Marsters or the Rivers of London books without the guy with the weird name. For me as well as many others Christopher Price IS Repairman Jack ( despite his odd pronunciation of the word :room” :-)

While I realize that Dick Hill has following he makes me wish that I was deaf. I cannot imagine a worse person called upon to narrate any book. But regardless of one’s opinion of his work, it is a jarring transition when one gets to Bloodlines.

What are the chances of getting Bloodlines and By The Sword re-released on audiobook with Christopher price as the narrator? there is precedent for this. Jim Butcher’s Ghost Story created such an outcry that James Marsters went back and recorded in a few years after the initial release.

The fact that The Last Christmas was not read by Price does not give me encouragement however. I can handle that one and I can handle The Tomb but the two Dick Hill books have got to go.

[FONT=&amp]Back in the day, when I was a new member of SFWA, we issued the SFWA Handbook, and in it we advised all SF writers to avoid the “space western.” It might be popular on TV (Star Trek was called “Wagon Train in space”Wink but the genre’s print editors weren’t interested.[/FONT]
[FONT=&amp]
It’s still popular on TV as evidenced by the acclaim for The Mandalorian on Disney+. John Favreau, the writer and showrunner, has dipped into both the western bounty-hunter genre and the Japanese ronin films for inspiration. The title character is a masked bounty hunter who does a good imitation of Clint Eastwood’s voice and wears a cape instead of a serape.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]
In the first three of the eight episodes we’re treated to a saloon shootout, some alien bronco busting, a desert town shootout, and the successful capture of the objective: a fifty year-old alien child you have no recourse but to call “Baby Yoda” (he’s not) who is terminally cute. By the end of chapter 3 the Mandalorian has decided to take the child under his wing, which lands a price on his head and sets all the other bounty hunters after him. (John Wick, anyone?) I watched him stride along with the floating basinet beside him and said, “Lone Wolf and Cub.” My daughter and grandson were watching with me but had no idea what I was talking about.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]
Episode 4 is a cut-down version of The Magnificent 7 (or Seven Samurai). I say “cut down” because there are only two gunslingers (The Magnificent Duo?) – the Mandalorian and the hot but very scary Gina Carano. I could go on but I won’t. I must, however, mention the arrival of Gus Fring in the guise of Mof Gideon, and the very cool salute to the finale of The Wild Bunch in episode 8.[/FONT]

[FONT=&amp]
I’m not complaining about the homages (?) because I had fun identifying them, but going forward I hope for more original plotting. I do see a problem with the Mandalorian religion forbidding him to show his face to another human being. It’s a big drawback in that it’s so distancing. This character is carrying the series but the helmet makes it very difficult to engage with him. Even old Mount Rushmore Eastwood gave us something as the Man with No Name (he could do a lot with a squint). [/FONT]

I am super excited for signalz. Any chance you’ll do a gauntlet edition? A paperback will look out of place next to all of the hardcovers

It’s been a long time since I read Healer. It’s time.

I see a new addition to the Secret History list, what have we here?

I saw from your newsletter that the final book from the Nocturnia Chronicles was actually released back in 2018 - at least that is what the link to Gauntlet Press implied.
I have the first two book as ebooks (sorry but I am not a collector and gave up on paper/hard cover books years ago) and have held off reading them till I knew the third volume was coming.
Any idea if it will be released as an ebook in the near future?
Thanks
