Say, the Stones didn't play Altamont.
The Monkees did.
Awright, a joke.
Say the Beatles did. Meredith Hunter was knifed during HEY JUDE.
We would never hear the song the same way.
Hey now, don't be dissing my Monkees, Blues! Not many groups can make it to a 45th reunion tour and sell out shows
As much as I love the LaNague series (and of course the Adversary & Repairman Jack series), I vote for just whatever the man wants to write. Something purely from his own inspiration sounds juts fine to me.

Robert A. Heinlein
An action story, set in the 80's, featuring a strong lead character (Similar to RJ, or Jake Nacht).

This struck a chord with me. Now, don't misunderstand what I'm about to say! I'm a huge fan of the RJ series and anxiously await each instalment BUT having just read Dydeetown World and Black Wind I don't think RJ is FPW's best work. I can see it's his most succesful work because it "caught on" but not his best, solely in my view obviously. Maybe if he had written them after the RJ series instead of before they would have bought him the acclaim they (and he!) deserve. That's why I voted for something new. I like suprises and the last two FPW books I read suprised me.
Well, I've never seen one do THAT before

Sorry, I think we all got a bit carried away with that question.
Na, na, na, nah, na! I didn't.

That said, Paul, whatever you write, I will read.
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.

Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
