Very cool. I’ve never done the carnival thing before, and I love seeing book-themed carnivals!

I’m reading “Deep Fathom” now, and have another of his books on the way. “Black Order” was the first book by Rollins that I read, but it definitely hooked me. It’s interesting reading a recent one first followed by older ones, though; it makes the ways in which he’s improved much more obvious, I think.

I need to start this one soon. I’m a big fan of Rollins’ work.

I have to say, having watched that video now, that it’s a great adjunct to reading the book. It’s a surprisingly clear summary of what happens, and the comic format makes it very memorable. Thank you for posting that!

Thank you! I’m enjoying the recommendations I’m seeing for further reading, other similar authors, and so on. So many books to read, so few lifetimes!

Just read your comment on my blog. Thanks for that, and I have enjoyed your blog so far. Yeah, Black Order was a GREAT book. I totally love how Rollins does his research well on the scientific aspects of his stories.
