Well, we talked a bit about it a while back, but Tom Kratman's book The Amazon Legion is now for sale. Pity that Toni wouldn't let him go with The Amazon's Right *** (scroll down), but... *G* Rather than pull up my writing about Tom and the book, why don't you go check out this review at ASP, and this interview with YouServed. There is also a bit more with Tom from last year's Blog World in this from YouServed. The Blackfive interview with Tom, sponsored by Baen Books, can be found at: Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 My own take is that it is well worth the read. Tom explores the idea of women in combat from a unique perspective with good characters and characterizations, in an interesting read. He shows where women can excel, and a lot of areas that the social experimenters don't want to address -- and does so with realism and the experience in training troops to fight. If you want a PC read, this ain't it, which makes it well worth the read in my book. LW
