Books 54-55
Jun. 26th, 2009 07:10 pm54) Princes of the Air (Reread): John M Ford's lovely space artist con man coming of age tale was even better my second time through. The three heroes are such damn player characters that any gamer can't help but love them. If you can find it, read it.
55) Peter Loon (Reread): Van Ried's non-Moosepath league book is set in post Revultionary War Maine, straddling the 18th and 19th centuries. Just after his father's death a young man is sent on a quest to find a never-before-mentioned uncle, and in doing so he falls in between the forces of the settlers and of the "great men" who claim the settler's newly cleared land on the basis of royal grants and contradcitory Indian deeds. A wonderful meditation on the need for moderate civil behavior in the base of potential war, it is also a useful snapshot on how the arctypical Player Character 'young adult from the backwoods' would react to his first sights of a wider world.
