Daemon - Daniel Suarez - Daemon 1 Scribe 08/20/2021 (Fri) 02:17:21 No. 311 [Reply]
An interesting near future scifi book. I believe the author is a practicing medical doctor. At the very least he finished med school. Theres a strange horror he brings to the part with his knowledge of anatomy. And then he starts having fun. Ai controlled motorcycles with chainsaw arms, a video game nazi gains AI sentience and begins saving the world from jews. It is bizarre and quite a bit of fun. Theres some sjw shit at the end of book two where it gets all preachy about revenge being pointless, but other than that you got the burned man. Ripped off bot from fallout online, but from the idea of a swat guy going through anons killhouse. So the story is a brilliant game designer dies, and his last gift is a program that turns on that destroys all society, and rebuilds it into a better form. Book one mainly deals with that. And it gets fucking messy. So much cool action in this. I spent the last month wanting to reread this but couldn't find the title. A duckduckgo search for near future scfi written by a doctor about nazi video games returned nothing obviously. But today I found it. So anyway I'm starting this again now. It's good I recall.

Part one is okay. I like it, part 2 has issues that bug me. But it also has the oberstleutenant. A video game nazi given the power to act in the real world through robots. Robots with a thousand knives. And what does this AI do? It tortures feds to death. In fairly graphic detail. Easily my favorite parts.
>>311 How is being opposed to revenge "SJW"?
>>397 Well it's been 7 months, but I think there was some boohoo poor indians stuff. Lots of muscle chicks what don't need no man. That kinda eye rolling silliness. But ignore those bits, cause they suck and add nothing to the story, and its enjoyable enough. I guess having badass robodude break down crying because he gets massively downvoted by sjw types at the end of book three still pisses me off.

50 shades of Führer Anonymous 11/27/2021 (Sat) 02:59:25 Id: 000000 No. 510 [Reply]
I had an idea for a steamy taboo romance. Making something in the likes of 50 shades of gray but with a nazi male protagonist. Like for example she is a regular girl who believes in BLM and almost gets raped by a pack of blacks. But them the hero appears and saves her. He behaves all mysterious and hard to get while showing he has a heart of gold in the process but then she discover his secret and start trying to convert him. He gives her a ultimatum and asks her to submit to his whims. Then the 50 shades shit starts and he teaches her to feel like a real submissive traditional woman. While all her friend reprimand her. We could make some and try to get the media reverse hyped about it. How its despicable and racist and all that and then take advantage of the forbidden fruit effect to make women want to read it. It would be just so easy marketing. The idea is precisely to exploit that taboo thing to arouse interest. There's psychological research on it that says people will show more interest for an article if the researcher mentioned previously it was banned or something. It could be such a success. But more for ego boost for the writer. Because selling this would be a nightmare. Anyone wants to do it?

Okay meta notes. I like writing here because it brings notice to anons board and I like him, and I like drawing attention here, this is a much more sfw board than >>>/lit/ however and this book can't really be finished here, so I'm gonna do what we can here before eventually moving the whole thing to /lit/ Heads up for future notice, when it happens I will announce it and provide a link. Probably a month from that happening though. Anyway as always thanks to anon for keeping a clean, spamfree board to write in, and thanks for his help when it's needed on projects. Looking forward to finally finishing a story for once, let's hope this is the one that actually gets to those magic words. "The end."
The idea is silly as shit, but more power to you. That said, no steamy BDSM smut on muh precious ded board.

>>370 "Closing in ten minutes!" A bored looking male barista with two earrings lets out in a falsetto. Sheila glances down at her half finished macchiato, then puts away her iphone with the buzzfeed article half read. I'll finish it on the subway she thinks as she sips her cold milky coffee. Zipping up her purse she stands and heads towards the exit. A black youth sitting in the back smiles and stands up, following her towards the exit. Sheila doesn't get more than ten steps out of the starbucks before wondering how those inhuman police could have gunned down that innocent African-American. He had just finished highschool and was applying to yale the article on buzzfeed had said, and she just couldn't understand those racist savages in blue, pausing on the sidewalk she unzips her purse to get at her iphone. Suddenly her arm is grabbed and she feels herself being pulled into the narrow alley between the starbucks and the borders book store. "You say anything and I'll cut your fucking throat bitch" a low black voice utters into her ear as she feels something sharp prod her in the small of her back. Stifling a cry she tries to turn and find out what's going on when another hand clamps over her mouth. She is thrown into a dumpster and falls as the hot red blood gushes from a gash on her forehead. "Fuck it we gonna have some fun first whore" She look up through the red haze as a black male who looks to be about 16 advances towards her with a rusty switchblade held blade up in his right palm, a large smile splits his face, and suddenly she understands what is happening but not why. So she does the worst thing she could do and screams. His smile disappears and his face lights up with rage "Goddamnit you cracker whore I told you what was going to happen!" The barista passes the alley, the streetlights showing sheila him in full detail as his face jerks away from the scene and he steps away.

Challenger's Hope - David Feintuch - seafort saga Scribe 08/19/2021 (Thu) 05:56:44 No. 306 [Reply]
The second book in the series. Im including the 1995 hardcover book club edition art, because I have always liked it better. And it conveys Seafort's complete and total hatred for satans children. Which all xenos must be. So here we get to see probably the the second longest campaign waged against the fish in these books. It picks up more in the third, but here we really start to rack up the kills. And then disaster once more. With no way home, food and air running low. A crew made up of the worst offenders, and impressed colonists. Only two functional lasers. Stranded in deep. Awaiting the casual hand of death. Damn this is my favorite of the whole series. The only thing that can hold the ship together, and see anyone home alive is the Captain's fanatical discipline, and complete and totally unshakeable will. Highly recommended. You will have fun.
Two books in is a good time to talk about the cap'n. I am not entirely sure what the authors intent is for several scenes. Nick comes across as slightly deranged. It reminds me of zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. In that the author there was an asshole, and didn't know it. So his character's tend to do weird fucked up shit. Similar here, although the extenuating circumstances that Nick goes through could explain his behavior. I think we are supposed to be seeing a man on the edge of a nervous breakdown. When he is likeable it is despite his massive character flaws, or perhaps it is when he isn't concerned with trivialities. Very little Vax in this book. A shame as he is an interesting character in his own right, and is seen very little of in the third book. What these characters are feeling, or why they behave as they do is troubling to me. I don't know if its inconsistent writing or if David had a point. Or maybe he understood people better than me. If he did I wish I knew what exactly he knew about humanity.

The Guns of Avalon - Roger Zelazny - Amber 2 Scribe 08/15/2021 (Sun) 01:43:25 No. 303 [Reply]
Ah Corwin, our beloved heroic protagonist, rightful King of Amber, and currently a blind prisoner in it's dungeons. Yeah somehow we start in worse place than the first book. But it ends with Corwin deciding this fantasy universe needs M-16s. Ignore the Darla parts as much as possible. She sucks.

Midshipman's hope - Seafort Saga 1 - David Feintuch Scribe 07/30/2021 (Fri) 11:32:20 No. 271 [Reply]
I shouldn't make threads at this ungodly hour. I can barely see. Oh well Midshipman's Hope! We meet our fucked up asshole of a hero. First midshipman Nicholas Ewing Seafort. The man who pisses everyone in the galaxy off, I love him. Ah what a prick, that motherfucker. So the germ of this book was ole Davy saying to himself, what if a captain was incompetent, and worse everyone knew, and worst he knows hes incompetent and everyone knows. The plot needs him unable to resign so that's what the customs of his government, training, and religion give him. So there we are deep interstellar in a world that sees ships take years to reach colony worlds, and bang hes captain. Oh it gets good, and oh so bad. Anons David can't write a convincing woman to save his goddamn life. Which is probably why his chicks seem so real. Inscrutability can be a benefit. We also meet Vax Holser, Sandy Wilsky, and Alexi Tamarov. All semi interesting in their own idiosyncrasies. We get full scale mutinies, boarding actions, corridor firefights, drunken brawls, first contact ever and immediately afterwards aliens get blown to stardust. A yes. A strong christian government that brooks no heretical hellspawn or mutiny against Gods own government. Shit what we don't get in this first book we get in spades in the truly impactful sequel. You ever felt hunger pangs? Well prepare for Davy to give you PTSD. I defy you not to lose weight reading the sequel. Ah but we can plug that later. Anyway where was I. Can't remember. Post time.

Ah book 5. Here we are finally leaving Horus' shadow and narrative for a bit. Graham is pretty good, it's unfortunate that insane artists are only marginally interesting to me. So we see Fulgrim take the road to damnation. Demons in swords. Genes fucked up. And finally an orgy of death. Ah emperor's children. Always with the raping. Yeah this was kinda fun. Needed more ferrus manus.
>>269 Oh yeah theres a cool murder suicide thing. And a serial killer. I mean basic emps children shit basically. All involving remembrancer artists.

Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov Scribe 07/13/2021 (Tue) 04:43:07 No. 83 [Reply]
The book that is often referenced, but hardly ever read. The story is a first person narrative written from the perspective of Hubert Humphries, a paedophile. While the objects of his affection are older than most of the paramours pursued by Don Juan, or say Romeo, and God. Mr. Humphries is presented commonly as a terrible pedo out to corrupt innocent Lolita. This is far from the actual narrative of the novel. In the novel what we see are the real life foibles of a lover so young, and naive. When telling a child no means no more pussy it becomes harder, and so our protagonist is tempted into further bad ideas. In the end we see that the innocent, naive one was our very protagonist. All in all a good book. An interesting story that makes one really think about the subjects being discussed. 7/10 rather good.

>>16 Is this novel actually a novelization of a previous story, or a new story just based on properties originally from other media? I know a lot of novels based on comic book characters, but only a few that actually attempt to adapt comic book stories into novel form. But then why would I want to read the novel version of The Crisis on Infinite Earths, when I could just read the actual comic it's based on? An odd case I've always been looking for a place to discuss is this Spider-Man novel, Mayhem in Manhattan. I think it was the first Marvel novel, or at least it was the first in this series. But the odd thing about it is that it's canon to the actual comics, and referenced in an actual issue, somewhere around Amazing Spider-Man #200, from the late '70s (I forget the exact issue, as it's been a few years). I remember I was slowly reading through all of Spider-Man (including the spinoffs, Spectacular Spider-Man and Marvel Team-Up, where Spidey teams up with someone else every issue), when suddenly in one issue Spidey references the fact that Doctor Octopus has died, and the editor's note, which usually lists an issue number, instead cited this novel. So I went on Ebay and Amazon and stuff, and couldn't find a copy for like a year, but eventually I found it, for a reasonable price, and it was actually pretty good. It's written by comics veterans Len Wein and Marv Wolfman, and everything I've read from them is great. It's nothing mindblowing, but their Spider-Man comics from the time were great, and this novel is additional material of the same quality. Doctor Octopus has some plan involving an oil company or something and Spidey goes on one of his more far-reaching adventures to stop him. A little more epic than the average issue of Amazing or Spectacular Spider-Man, where he generally fights more street level plots, but then again, he was going to space like every month in Marvel Team-Up, so this isn't that epic compared to those. I wonder if the rest of the Marvel Pocket Novel Series, of which this is the first (according to the back of the book), is canon to the comics. I haven't come across any more comics that reference a novel as being canon, but I wouldn't be surprised if this particular series at least was made to be canon. I know I have some Spider-Man and X-Men novels from the '90s, and as far as I can tell, they are not canon, but I'm also not as knowledgeable about '90s Marvel as I am about '70s Spider-Man, so I could be mistaken there.
>>84 Not sure. But it has spiderman on the cover and it looks like a book so we will take it. Ah wolfman, and wein yeah above average for the bullpen even at the time. A lot of the older comics had two to three page short stories along with the actual comic material. Early writers got a start doing those backup stories. I dont remember when but yeah at some point they had a paperback division. The early stories being canon, and shilled in the comic is hardly surprising. Marvel did that a lot I recall. Cant read my old xmen without seeing the letters section pimping something that never went anywhere. That being said in the 90's these kind of books were pretty widely available. I bought a ton. I only have a couple now, but yeah usually a good read. The format allows for longer form, and more intricate stories. I have always had a weakness for xmen material from the time. Some of which are also canon. Yes good find OP. I wish there was an epub. I would love to read it some time.
