Just FYI, I did the math on the above numeric equation and it does not compute!

I am however starting a new post apocalyptic book title "Trial". Only about 5 chapter sin, but some interesting possibilities when some of the better citizens belonging to a "militia" try to take over the city.

If one thinks that civility remains in a disaster, think again. I went through hurricane Celia in 1970 and 12 days without power. I saw people standing in a Red Cross line for many hours for a single bag of ice.....and more than one fight break out over it!I pray for the victims of Harvey and Irma.

Getting back on track, I am about half way through Harry Sidebottom's 'The Amber Road taking his Roman general, originally an Angle hostage, back to his ancestral homeland. This is the fifth book of the Ballista series, and I can thoroughly recommend it. Sidebottom is not only an Oxford classicist, and a wargamer, he also has the knack of producing a rattling good yarn. Sharpus, eat your heart out!

In the true Oxford spirit, a wargamer would spend three hours commenting on the typeface in WRG 4th edition, then have to go home as the club was closing.

I've just finished Harry Sidebottom's Blood and Steel, which I really enjoyed.

Finished "The Battle of New Orleans: But for a Piece of Wood" by Ron Chapman.

The prior history of the causes of the war and then the various forays by the British around Mobile and into the Louisiana area.  Trying to get the Indians and "native" Spaniards and Frenchmen to join them against the Americans.

The author says that not withstanding the Treaty of Ghent, which was signed but not ratified when the battle was fought, the British would possibly given the Louisiana Purchase back to Spain (not recognizing Napoleon's illegal use of it).  So, he also says that this was the battle that saved America.

Liked most of it but a bit dramatic in his writing.

Finished "McAuslan Entire" by George MacDonald Fraser.

This is a compilation of his three books, "The General Danced at Dawn", McAuslan in the Rough" and "The Sheikh and the Dustbin".

It is a fictionalized account of Fraser's time after the war when he was an officer in command of a platoon (he is Lieutenant Dand MacNeil in the book).  In it he changed the actual names of the characters, but it is based on actual occurrences.  McAuslan is "The Dirtiest Soldier in the World" and wildly entertaining.  Fraser's writing uses the Scottish sounds for the verbal exchanges and is great.

Highly entertaining and highly recommended.
