As far as I can see, yes. It's with Falkenberg as a 'regiment/battalion' commander on the planet Arrarat.

That last wasn't very good, IMAO, and for weeks I've been playing SMAX in the daytime and falling asleep fast at night.  Just got to this new one last night.

Oryx & Crake by Margaret Atwood, it's kinda depressing. But it's a dystopian post-apocalyptic piece of fiction, so I suppose it's meant to be...

I usually can't take too much Cherryh; it's not that she can't write, but the stories tend to focus on obsessions I can't get behind.

Destiny's Forge is by Paul Chafe, ISTR.

Loved it.  Far from flawless, but I loved it.

Legends II edited be Robert Silverberg.

The first story is another hedge knight story by George R. R. Martin - all I've read of the Game of Thrones stuff is as far as I got into this last night, and another hedge knight story in the first Legends, (I've not seen a second of the HBO stuff, either) but I sorta see why geeks are so into it.

Careful who you call a geek. A guy you once called awesome (among other adjectives) is way deep into GoT stuff...   :D

Also re-reading A Feast for Crows by George RR Martin (also parts of A Storm of Swords, where I'd forgotten what happened)
