I've got Black Wind wishlisted on Amazon right now. I think I would have enjoyed By The Sword even more if I had known the background on the sword, Naka Slater, and all the rest beforehand. As I read I thought it was kind of strange that an unknown 'man on the street' would remember seeing something similar during the Pacific campaign during WWII, and refer to it as a 'wilt' with great confidence. Looking forward to filling in the gaps.

You will love Black Wind. It is amazing.

You'd think that Killing people would make them like you, but it doesn't! it just makes people dead.

Finished Black Wind tonight. I'm impressed with the history and cultural depth in this book. I know there are tie ins with the newest book just out, I'll be tempted to read the threads to find out what. Next is Conspiracies.
