    Ladies and Gentlemen, most of you seem pleased with Ryan's switch to the Steyr Scout rifle. I was given the opportunity to switch another gun in the book I just submitted, in fact, they gave me a few base parameters and were once again kind enough to let me pick it. Today, I asked if I could announce it pre-publication, the GE Powers That Be said "Go ahead, sounds like fun!" (So please think kindly of my Canadian overlords.) Without further adieu, may I introduce Krysty's new best friend. The Glock 18C, to be introduced in "Blood Red Tide." If you want to know how she acquires it? Buy the book . . . In the mean time? Discuss!

    New book will be "Blood Red Tide."

    My thoughts were this, given that they wanted it to be a pistol, with the Glock 18C you can have A.) Krysty pulled the Glock's trigger as fast as she could, popping the heads of stickies like cysts. "Ryan! It's getting thick in here!" or B.) The Mucousoid rose up nine feet tall out of its own pool of excretions shedding slime. "Gaia!" Krysty flicked her selector to full auto and put nineteen rounds of 9mm hollow points into the abomination center body goo.

    There seems to be a wee problem with chucks post.
    Yeah and on some of the vids there was 33 and 50 round magazines for the glock as well.Fun time. Unfortunately I can only guess because my government wont let me play with handguns.

    Jesus, Chuck! Thank God you are just penning another DL!

    You can use whatever your genius pleases, insofar as I am concerned. 

     

    See, you not only have been listening to us, but see the BIG reasoning of Krysty needing much more than a peashooter .38 revolver. BRING IT ON BRO!

    Shit, man, I wished you'd tell GE execs that you're gonna place all new weaponry on the companions, just like in the original beginning books.

     

    That's what made this series not stagnate. Fresh new weapons, or old ones, depending on need. And losing and adding new members. Laurence James had the right idea. Mix it up. Kill off main characters sometimes, then add another one for a while.

    In the meantime, there is another GE book with a similar title by a strangely familiar writer you could give a try...

    WOW!! New Gun !! , Great news ! . I looked up the 18c and I see that it comes with 4 different mags in 10,17,19 & 33 rounds cap.
    Chuck can you tell us which mags she will be using in this new gun?
    I hope its the 33 as I really would like to read about Krysty blasting away with that big mag.

    I cant really see her wearing this in a hip holster with a 33 round mag . 17 is most likely the most useful and best choice. Trying to carry multiple 33 round mags for "quick" changes would be a challenge?

    Of course Krysty can handle this! She's a bloody mutie powered red-haired badass. I wish she had a sword, huge .50 cal pistol, along with a murderous machine-gun strapped to her back.

    A sub machine gun for the ladies would be a good idea. And Ak's or M-4s for everbody bar J.B and Ryan. Maybe Doc could have an old Maxim machine gun or a gatling gun to make him feel at home.

    Krysty doesn't need any guns,she has her "inexhaustible" Gaia powers to draw on. Yeah right.

    Yes, i have collected many throughout the years, including other types of weapons, from bows and arrows of different eras to daggers and swords, along with rifles and pistols. From SIGs to Glocks, to Gladius swords used by Roman soldiers. LOVE my collection! 

     That's why it drives me nuts when these writers pen the weaponry wrong.

    I actually have the first 7 S M Stirling Change series, but have only read the first one. I liked it, but he blathers on too much about 'good witches' crap. I tried the 2nd book, but got bored. I am hoping to try them again, and hope they get better. Love the concept.

     

    Insofar as how many guns a person can have here in the southwest of the US: as many as you want, as long as they are legally bought. I buy and sell all the time. Had as many as 30 types of guns, to the 6 handguns and 4 long guns I now have. Living on 5 acres outside the city is the only way I'd live. Although i built a berm on my land where I practice my shooting, I also have a gun range not ten minutes away, along with a bow range not 5 minutes way. 

     

    My current favorites are my G3 KA4 automatic rifle with retractable stock. Damn nice piece!

    As shotguns goes, my current one is a HK CAWS.

     And my latest hand gun I bought about 6 months ago is a BUL M5 Commander.

    The first three were like a guide to witches as opposed to an actual novel at times. He loves to describe his world, which is good sometimes but after the 27th time of "merry met" and "Lord and Lady" gets rather frustrating.
    But I'm currently reading the next series which is set 20 odd years after and these are ten times better.

    The nearest I ever got to guns was shooting an Airgun. Just watched a video of the M5 on YouTube looks pretty neat. Are you allowed to conceal carry with your license? I was watching another video on YouTube the other day of some Bloke walking down the street with a M16 strapped to his back. When the Cops turned up he told him it was his right to carry unconcealed weapons. You would be sectioned to the nuthouse if you did that here.

    Yes, you can carry concealed weapons here, but only as long as you don't have a criminal record or something. You have to sign up and take a class too.

    Unfortunately, like everything else, there are too many idiots with guns these days. They make a bad name for guns. Like Pitt Bulls. I have one and its one of the best dogs I've ever had - and I've had all kinds of breeds. He has only 3 legs, every inch a badass when it comes to protecting his home and his family. But he is a major lover too! Sweet and funny as all hell. It is all in the way you treat an animal. Raise them with love and support, train them constantly, and you will NEVER have one on the evening news biting and eating people.

    Insofar as the SM Stirling series: So, you are saying I should continue to give it another try? Like you stated, the author can be very good, but then bogs down with too much over description and knowledge about witches I could care less about, and didn't enhance the story at all. So it does get more action-packed and interesting?

     

    As for my HK CAWS shotgun, if you have seen the Expendables movies, then it is the one the big black merc uses you bail Sly Stallone out of trouble in the 1st movie. He cleans house with it.

    Poor little girl was killed here on Monday by a "Pit Bull type dog", such a shame. My sister has a Rottweiler and it is the biggest softie I have ever met. All depends on the owners.
    Yeah there is far too many of these School shootings in the states nowadays. I'm just up the road from Dunblane, which was a day ill never forget where I was. But I do believe in people having the right to gun ownership. Handguns and Rifles only though. Half the street thugs/ned's/chav's would think twice about mugging you if they thought you might be packing.

    Would I totally be lost if I just skipped the next 2 books then, and just start with the 4th? It has been a few years since i read the first one.

     

    Another 'end of the world' series that fans of this site might like is D. J. Molles's The Remaining series. I just read the first one on my Kindle Fire, (which is the only way to read them right now, since the paperbacks don't come out till this June), and it was very good. Lots of action and character driven plot. A different type of zombie apocalypse type read, too!

     

    After i finish this awesome new DL book, Hanging judge, I am going to read book 2 in The Remaining series, titled Aftermath.

     

    I tell ya, when Victor Milan is in snyc and seemingly in a good mood to write a DL - like this one so far - it more than makes up for his mediocre Motherlode.

    Oh, absofuckinglutely, Silentalbino! J. B. would LOVE this super shotgun of mine.

     It is literally a blast to shoot.

    I don't know about your country, but here you can go into a gun range and 'rent' just about any type of weapon you want, so you can get a feel of the weapon.

    I can tell which writers in both of the Axler series are familiar with guns or not. Victor Milan and Chuck Rogers are definitely shooters. If they don't know about the guns they write about, or haven't ever actually handled that type of weaponry - then they are superstar writers to bullshit that good.

    But methinks they be shooters...

    I don't think you would miss too much. He kind of recaps everyone's story as he goes. looking forward to this new DL. I've not finished the last two DLs which never happens bar Palaces of light which I never even read.

    If you have found yourself agreeing with my assessments of each book, then you should save yourself a lot of time and don't bother with the last 2 DL books.

    Dark Fathoms was very good. It was different. And sometimes different works. But not the Siren Song different for me. Ron seemed to like it. All a matter of personal taste. Palaces of Light was one of the worst EVER. Everyone agrees on that. And Andy Boot has not written another since, having seemingly gone back to the Bolan universe. (Thank you Lord!)

    My fav authors penning this series now is Victor Milan, John Helfers and Chuck Rogers.

    So just start again with The Sunrise Lands? I hate skipping, but I have tried the 2nd book twice in the last few years, and I find myself dropping it for something better. But, if i have to...

    Yeah you should be good to go. Rudy is a good character. Excellent Bowman. Although what sold this series to me was the British contingent. Us Scots are still that wee bit Clannish and love to see some of our fellow Islanders in our novels. even if they are Sassenachs.

    So you are not even caught up with the most current book that came out last Sept, then.

    I notice a lot of bad reviews for his more current books. I've tried a few of his books through the years, and find him a hit or miss author. But he has a big following for this particular series. 

    The Remaining series is not a zombie novel, per se. It is a virus that spreads very quickly globally and turns most people into savage killing machines. They don't even call them zombies.

    No still working my way through them. They've thrown in a supernatural element which at first I was a bit funny about. But when you look at the fact that electricity and guns have stopped working magically kind of works.

    LOL.....Some of you are obviously new to guns.

    Having Krysty swtich to a 9mm isn't a bad idea, I would have preferred something in .40 caliber range. A lot more stopping power then the 9mm. Ammo should be available in any redoubt or could be reproduced by JB. Still a good upgrade. Glock 17's aren't bad, I traded mine for a Dan Wessom .357.

    I personally have numerous fire arms, just added a Springfield M1903 to my arsenal.

    Early in the series Krysty carried a H&K P7-M13 in 9mm before being handed the S&W 642 .38 by JB.

    The 642 has a concealed hammer, not possible to cock the hammer by thumbing it back as written in some books.

     

    The Glock 18 is a far better choice over the 642 but she should keep the .38 as a hide out back up gun.

    It does fire rather rapidly in auto contributing to a waste of ammo if not diligent.

    A common long gun for everybody would be a good idea. Like an M4 type with ammo and magazine commonality.

    Also, How about more ammunition details?

    IE.. Instead of military 9mm FMJ, have the group find some Federal 115 grain +P ammo or Remington .38 Special 158 grain +p lead hollowpoints?

    Federal Gold Medal Match .308 Win. with 168 grain Matchking bullet for Ryan's Styer?

    Winchester Super-X OO Buck for the 12 GA M-4000?

    I agree, its pointless bloating that eats into the max word count and does nothing for the story. Why can't we also have the group discover some new underwear and then spend two pages telling us about the colours, sizes and styles available? Maybe even have Mildred wax lyrical about the superiour qualities of one type over another. This would add as much to the story as one type of ammo over another!!
    We are reading an adventure story not guns digest.

    I'm liking the idea of other types of ammo the +p ammo hits harder than regular stuff and you get more stopping power from it . Also I like the Idea of JB getting excited and carrying on about how great the ammo is, Ricky would just eat the knowledge up and idolize JB even more LOL. The rest would just roll their eyes and get on with living .

    Besides any new ammo could be worked in as a plot point in the story.

    I think it would probably be gobbledegook to most of us.


    I agree, its pointless bloating that eats into the max word count and does nothing for the story. Why can't we also have the group discover some new underwear and then spend two pages telling us about the colours, sizes and styles available? Maybe even have Mildred wax lyrical about the superiour qualities of one type over another. This would add as much to the story as one type of ammo over another!!
    We are reading an adventure story not guns digest.

    I'm liking the idea of other types of ammo the +p ammo hits harder than regular stuff and you get more stopping power from it . Also I like the Idea of JB getting excited and carrying on about how great the ammo is, Ricky would just eat the knowledge up and idolize JB even more LOL. The rest would just roll their eyes and get on with living .

    Besides any new ammo could be worked in as a plot point in the story.

    I agree on principle but how do you figure in showing the effect of this all new ammo with more stopping power when almost all of the time the group are already killing folk in one shot with whatever it is they are firing now. In a visual world, yes you could feature this but in writing it makes not a jot of difference.

    blam, Ryan hit the cold heart with his Sig, the 9mil round pulped his head and splattered grue across the face of another cold heart stood next to him.

    or

    lam, Ryan hit the cold heart with his Sig, the 9mil +p round pulped his head and splattered grue across the face of another cold heart stood next to him.

    it really has no impact on the statement.

    Yeah have JB having a wet dream over a box that they find but thats about it, it has no other effect on the story?

    Yeah, even a gun enthusiast as meself can see how 'too much' ammo and gun detail can slow a fast-paced and controlled word count book. I love details, but there should be a limit.

    I cannot recall any of the curent DL authors overdoing this type of written detail. Seems about enough to me. And Hanging Judge is a perfect example. There are quite a number of new weapons introduced, along with new muties, and all of them were described well, without being over-described. 

    I recall the old Survivalist series being over-detailed in John Roarke's guns and ammo details. It became a bit much after a while. Especially when the author did it over and over with same detail. The Outlanders series did the same rehashing of EVERY backstory or item in the series with each and every book. DL does it, but much, much less.

    Also, How about more ammunition details?

    IE.. Instead of military 9mm FMJ, have the group find some Federal 115 grain +P ammo or Remington .38 Special 158 grain +p lead hollowpoints?

    Federal Gold Medal Match .308 Win. with 168 grain Matchking bullet for Ryan's Styer?

    Winchester Super-X OO Buck for the 12 GA M-4000?

    I believe you are missing the point.
    A "P+" ammunition means more powder (about 10%) so more power behind the round. It would mean going further or having more of an impact. I.e. Shooting a person and the person behind him.
    A "hollowpoint" expands when it hits something. Like a normal bullet would make a small hole going through a person, a hollowpoint would make a smaller entrance and a large exit because the bullet expands.

    I recall those as well, I read two or three before getting bored with the two thirds gun porn per page and one third story.

    "...looking through his spymaster 40*90mm hybrid quango double diopter rifle scope originally tooled for the 5.56mm akimbo torus 753 hunting rifle but reworked with the addition of a fitwel muti angle sight adaptor he noticed that the guard was toting a 7.62mm styer ultima W-ANK hunting rifle fitted with the expanded duel super kak muzzle addaptor at his belt he noted that he had over 50 spare 7.62mm +p rounds and at least 32 7.62mm hollow point rounds. Bob decided to go home..."

    All totally pointless and as far as 95% of readers go just total tosh. I would sooner have 315 pages of story than 120 pages with 195 pages of weapon specs.

    That reminds me of the way people talk to me about their cars. Just say you replaced your bigass engine with an even bigger one.

    "Yeah, so I took out my super 500 liter valve with gigacarbistramator and replaced it with a superultra 5000 torque litervalve stanisfanistimator turbo deluxe 1800 with mega johnsonrod framistigator...."

    Sounds good to me.

    About time someone got something new.

    -Ammo will be readily avail

    -Hopefully the rest of the authors out there carry it on and don't forget she has a new weapon.
