Read the Tor hardcover then.

Black Wind - Karithna - 05-02-2009
My copy is an old tor paperback, missing the cover and half the info sheet. The back cover is red if that helps. It's 463 pages some very small print, but the story is so good, you get lost in it regardless of the font size.

Just finished Black Wind not but 15 minutes ago.
Damn good book. Much better than I thought it would be. Didn't have any trouble getting into it.
But yes, the text is small. 463 pages with upwards of 44 lines of text per page. Would've been easier to read with 32 lines per page. That would've made the book about 640 pages long.

I read Black Wind a few months ago ... EXCELLENT story. I love almost anything WWII anyhow (Band of Brothers!!), and this was truly a great read.

It's funny, because I had picked up the Tor version of this book years ago at a used book store and never got around to reading it for some reason. It eventually was put away and forgotten about. Then last fall I found it and put it in my stack of books to read. Let me just say, I really wish I hadn't waited so long to read this book. After reading it, I really thought this would make one very good movie (as long as the script stayed true to the book).

Black Wind would make an excellent movie. But Hollywood seems to be stuck on remaking a whole bunch of movies now. Here's an original story with historical and intriguing aspects. They'll ignore it.

Funny little thing yesterday. I had no intentions on yet purchasing Black Wind so when i went to Borders just to see the print they said they must be out of copies because the book was not where it was supposed to be. I then saw a novel for world of warcraft ( i used to play) and brought to waist level to check it out and as i went to look at it my eyes caught a copy..wait, make that four copies of Black wind. I immediatley bought it. The print is really small but ill make it. this story just goes to show you that if they say they dont have it, guess what, they probably do. lol
