It’s been a good week for reading. I only failed to get my 5% read on one day, but I’v read a lot more than that the other days. Will be finishing a book today, and probably starting a new one. After this current on, only books 31 and 32 are left in the Dumarest of Terra series. I’ve been reading it for several years. As longtime readers/listeners (haha - are there any?) of this blog/podcast know, the Dumarest series is one of the primary inspirations for the original Traveller roleplaying game, which is why I got into them.
When you read these, or other books in the Traveller bibliography, what you discover is that the game was mostly influenced by adventure SF. The game is about adventure, and that’s what the Dumarest novels are.
I’m leaving on vacation next Saturday - 6 days from now. I think I will start Dumarest 31 today. Maybe I can get it knocked out before I leave, and then finish the series when I get home. That would mean four novels finished in March, even if they are short ones.
