Sixteen Ways to Defend A Walled City
I just started this-not sure how recent-by our old friend KLParker. I haven’t followed him lately, my recollection is I think he is an excellent writer but quite dark. Anyway, I am really liking this one. The first person narrator seems more reliable than some of his others and somewhat more honorable. And I really enjoy the very practical engineering aspects. So far, therefore, it is recommended.

Re: Sixteen Ways to Defend A Walled City
Thanks Kokipy. You hooked me with just the title on this one: speaking as someone whose favourite and only computer game interest is still Civilisation II (and yes such an old game will still run fine on 64-bit Windows 10 thanks to support from its fan community).
Right - it's now sitting in the virtual TBR stack in the Kindle library.
It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.

I could have sworn we decided Parker was a woman, no?

But it turns out he is a man named Tom Holt, or at least writes under that name as well.

Btw I finished it and really enjoyed it. It isn’t quite so dark as some of his others.

What do you think of Holt? Unless harrumph fully expresses it.

No, I like those books. They were good and great world building. These were the ones with all the metal work and creative low tech technology right? They were good
