Can't stand fantasy the only book of his I have on the phone is Grand Central Arena, I will be chasing the sequel shortly.



De gustibus non est disputandum. That's the only one of his published books I've never been able to finish; my WSOD collapsed partway through the first draft and the 'what happened last time' prologue of Spheres of Influence more or less confirmed that it wasn't the sort of story I'd normally enjoy. Spheres hit #45 on Bookscan's national all format SF list though; so clearly a lot of people do agree with you.

On another note do/can you share your ebook library (I have no compunction in breaking the DRM) with family etc.


AFAIK Baen itself doesn't. If you're buying from Amazon/etc instead of Baen's outlet[^], you'd need to read the terms of service to know. DRM isn't an issue though; while Baen did have to make some accommodations to the beast that caused fan grumbling Baen ebooks (from any source) are as DRM free as they were when Jim Baen started selling them in 1999.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
