Does your computer do Mike's voice too?
I seem to assign an "inner voice" to people whose writing I read often. I remember being quite surprised at CC's Fiesta some years ago that people's real voices corresponded quite closely to what I had imagined. Except CC himself, of course - when he gets into his mimicry routine - he can do so many... I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Mike yet, but I do have a voice for him!

If you're looking for loose ends, this trilogy's got them.
Well that's cool then, because there are supposed to be 5 books.
Waiting on "The Hot Gate" myself in the meantime I've been rereading some things, mainly Gordon Dickson.

Just finished S. M. Stirling's "A Taint in the Blood," and reread Pratchett/Gaiman's "Good Omens." Now working on "Neptune's Inferno" about the US Navy's Battle at Guadalcanal. Hornfischer's previous books have been amazing, and from the first few chapters it seems this one will be too.
I wound up back in Shelby Foote's The Civil War: A Narrative. I thought I was picking up late in the first volume, but found that I was really landing in the midst of the second volume, near Vicksburg, and heading for Gettysburg.
BTW, have you seen that History Channel will be starting a new show on Gettysburg on Memorial Day? Ridley Scott is the executive producer, hopefully it won't suck too bad.
Just finished The Road to Serfdom, and am working my way through (around grading and dissertation research) The Wealth and Poverty of Nations by Richard Landes, The Thirty Years War by C.V. Wedgwood, both of which I recommend without reservation, and Book I of Spenser's The Fairie Queene.
