Andy just posted the first draft of Wilde/Chase 16 is done. The main characters are both 50+ now, with clear signs of aging. No way for either of them to get younger with the various ways of life extension destroyed in previous books. These are thrillers so I doubt actual aliens will show up.

Chapters and fantasticfiction finally fixed the images for Alien Hostiles. It took them about 2 weeks to notice and fix the error. Seeing all the different ways the author did galactic conflict, from a sentient bacteria controlled galactic empire of aliens preventing advancement of technology, a duplicating AI alien machine race destroying most organic life, two methods of time travel hijinks and however galactic conflict is like in the Warstrider books.

Reptilians influencing humanity through time and space in the Solar Warden series is interesting, especially the actual origins of the reptilians and the Grays. Definitely different from the Grays we saw in the Event Group. These Grays are small compared to the 6 ft plus height ones in the Event Group books. I've read other conspiracy books before and it's always nice for one of my favorite MilSci authors to delve into it.

Almost completed his bibliography under this pseudonym but haven't touched his books under different names yet, or the books by his brother. He isn't an author who puts too much humor in his books, so not similar to The Illuminatus Trilogy at all. Unfortunately The Ten Billion Gods of Heaven (2015) doesn't have a physical version.

I live in a village and we used to have a library van come once every 2 weeks. It used to stay for 2 hours but was reduced to 1 hour and finally only stops for 30 minutes!! :@ Its often late. Of course we didn't even get that when lockdowns started.
Even when the libraries reopened and vans started running again my village wasn't included. I've had 3 books out for well over a year! :( I thought about returning them to a branch of the library thats several miles away but the last time I did that they had no record of me returning the books. Luckily the person on the van believed me. Libraries here are sort of opening again but there's still no library van visiting where I live. I'm starting to wonder if I should risk taking the books to the nearest branch. I can't take out new books unless I pre-order them because browsing isn't allowed due to Covid. :@ :@ Aaaargh. I need something new to read.

edit to add: I wonder if the charity shops will allow people to browse their bookshelves
