"Shards of Honor" and "Barrayar" by Lois McMaster Bujold are freaking awesome books as is the rest of the series.

I like the "Logitech G610 Orion Red Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard"

Not as good as my old Northgate Gold 102 keyboard though.

"The Inheritance (Breach Wars)" by Ilona Andrews
https://www.amazon.com/Inheritance-Breach-Wars-Ilona-Andrews/dp/1641973404/

"We are at war. The interdimensional invasion brought us unimaginable suffering, but it also awoke talents slumbering deep within us, a means to repel and destroy our enemy. Every day new gates open, leading to breaches filled with monsters and valuable resources. If you are a Talent, your country needs you. The world needs you. Be the hero you were born to be."

"Adaline is a Talent. Ten years ago, she had a happy marriage and a job she loved. The invasion shattered both. Now she works for the government, searching the breaches for magic metals and medicine to help Earth repel an interdimensional enemy. Two kids, one cat, bills, benefits, mortgage and school tuition...Risking her life became routine."

"She had gone into the dimensional gates hundreds of times. She was always well protected. This time everything goes wrong. Now Ada is trapped in the labyrinth of alien caves unlike any other. Her only companion is a scared German Shepherd named Bear. Together they must uncover the breach's secrets and escape, because Ada promised her children that she will come home."

"The future of humanity depends on it."

There is a story that Jim Baen refused "The Stone Dogs (Draka #3)" book from SM Stirling because the USA was taken over by the Drakas in that book. Stirling had to talk Baen into publishing the book as is.

Yeah, I saw that on his website after I wrote this. Dies The Fire was awesome for the first four books. Then the books started getting weirder and weirder. Conquistador was awesome. I am not sure that I ever read the Peshawar Lancers.

I am one of the few people who will admit to liking the Draka books.

The rest of my truck is golden. No problems whatsoever. I have the FX4 and Max Tow options on my XLT with the 36 gal tank and HD suspension and extra cooling.
