The soul has fled:
I finished Route 666 at lunch yesterday. It was ok.
It’s just a collection of short stories set in Games Workshop’s “Dark Future” universe, which is your typical post-holocaust wasteland setting, featuring roving motorcycle gangs, out-of-control biological and cybernetic engineers, and all the other tropes you’ll recognize from Mad Max and other related genre pieces. Of course, the cool thing about this universe is that there was no holocaust. People aren’t recovering from any kind of great war, it’s just the natural result of societal erosion and decay. GW books tend to be depressing in that way. I’ve written about that before.
None of the specific stories are really worth mentioning though.
Now I’m reading War Machine, by David Drake and Roger Macbride Allen. It’s part 3 of a series, and it’s really not very good at all. I have no idea why I’m reading it, really. Oh well.
