What Are You Reading?

Nearly finished with Wildwood Boys by James Carlos Blake. I have enjoyed it, and recommend it to any who like historical fiction.
 
Almost done... "Gandhi & Churchill: The Epic Rivalry that Destroyed an Empire and Forged Our Age" by Arthur Herman
It's a bit on the wordy side but, it's a page turner.
 
I finished The Dirty Streets of Heaven. I had a good time reading it, will definitely get the next book in the series.

I moved on to, and promptly finished Cold Days by Jim Butcher - book 14 in the Dresden files. Wow! What a ride. I can't believe I have to wait a year or more for my next fix of Dresdencrack. Wow...

Origins (Spinward Fringe) by Randolph Lalonde http://amzn.com/B004EPYUXA
It is the distant future and one man, Jonas Valent, is letting his life slip by. He is employed by Freeground station as a port traffic controller, a job he took after completing a tour in the military. His only real joy in life is his participation in true-to-life military simulations with a cadre of friends who come together regularly to defeat challenges made to test the brightest military cadets and officers alike. These restricted scenarios stand as an addictive preoccupation that is so enticing that they ignore the potential repercussions of breaking in to participate.

When someone betrays their identities to the Freeground Fleet Admiralty, Jonas and his friends are faced with a far greater challenge: to venture out into the more populated regions of the galaxy to acquire technology and knowledge. They are tasked with laying the groundwork for the Freeground Nation in their efforts to reconnect with the rest of humanity, and to secure the armaments they might need to defend themselves from encroaching enemies.

Spinward Fringe Broadcast 0: Origins is a collected trilogy that chronicles the early adventures of an ambitious crew. Their leader, Jonas Valent, has the least to lose and everything to gain as he tells the tale of his first tour as Captain of a ship tasked with making allies and discovering new technologies for the good of his people. This simple mission becomes more complicated as the crew ventures further into the settled fringes of the galaxy.
