Although I think Orwell and Rand already got around to it. It would be better to write about what happens if there isn’t a Civil War. Although I think Orwell and Rand already got around to it.

Can't wait to read it as your first two were outstanding. One other question, how close do you think either the US or Israel are to striking Iran, and what effects do you think that will have on the countries in the region and the world in general? Also what do you think China's reaction will be (ok, I know that was more than one question). Adam, just wondering how close you are to releasing a thousand points of light.

But I do find some interesting contradictions in what you say. You describe yourself as "ultra-conservative" - surely a polarising position - yet you describe that very polarisation that you espouse as being a cause of the US's weakness. So why not work towards compromise rather than the painful extremism on both sides that so characterises current US politics? In The Blast Of War you are pretty disrespectful to Obama. Okay, I get the fact that you disagree with him - fair enough. But speaking as a right-of-centre Briton, I wonder whether you realise just how much a of a global laughing stock the US became under President GW Bush? Honestly, people laughed at your nation for electing as leader someone who appeared to have trouble stringing a coherent sentence together. At least acknowledge that Obama turned that tide and has earned the US global respect, and show some respect to the office. These are dangerous times - I have frequently commented to friends that financial strife of this level normally ends in war. I hope that I am wrong; I hope that you are wrong. But for better or worse, I am enjoying your books and look forward to the third book. Just please don't give us a cheesy ending! I am midway through book 2, having enjoyed the first as well.

I have a target date set for it of the fourth of July but, depending on other commitments, I might miss that date. And, yes, Neal - I do. I'm more closely watching the European situation. I expect that it will continue closer to my prediction than people think now - one kludge after another until it all falls apart. The third book – “A Thousand Points of Light” should be coming soon.

Very much enjoyed it...last night. Yeah, couldn't put it down. In your posting above, you mentioned that you own pretty much every "future history" book available. As a voracious reader of pretty much any future history, allohistory, scifi and...yes...my guilty pleasure...zombie novels I'm running short on decent reading material. So...have a short list of future history you could recommend? Thanks and keep writing! Can't wait for the sequel. Jeff Adam,
