That didn’t take long.

Started this book last night, and just finished reading it about twenty minutes ago. Lots of the technical details went over my head, but learning about the technological wonders of the JWST was pretty astounding. I can’t wait to see what they developed, and then deploy next. Though I guess the Artemis missions to the moon are what’s up right now.

So yeah, two books down, with a three part omnibus on deck next. Going back to space faring science fiction and war stories in the Warhammer 40K universe. Dan Abnett and a couple of Gaunt’s ghosts are in the house! Pew-pew.

I did give some thought to going back to finish Mistborn, but I’m not in the mood for magic systems just yet. Give me a couple of weeks of reading dystopian war stories and I might want a break for elemental magics, and a good heist.

I have a massive book of dragon tales I can read, as well as yet another Aliens omnibus, so I have no shortage of things to read. Also my brain is a tad mushy after 200 pages of science history and telescopes, and Spectrography discussions. I’m not a smart man, numbers aren’t my thing, so it took a fair bit of focus to read all that, and keep a through line of what it all meant. Brain is tired. Much like those days when I would write 4,000 or more words of a short story, my head would get foggy, and I’d need to dumb things down a bit before bed. Know thine limitations!

Anyway — book good. Photos lovely. Science neato. Short and Sweet.
