Just read the Bloody Blade extract. Hehe, that bit about the Odyssey is right on the money. When those mythic names pop up, its like reading the Old Testament. You know, "Ezekiah begat Isaiah, Isaiah begat Sasquatch, Sasquatch begat Montavani, etc." (No offense to the Good Book intended, :-)).

Speaking of Crash. I took on Crash (don't know if its our boy) who was flying as a Cz, and Rook this last Saturday nite (Sunday morn.). It was a hoot. You know, I'm not that good at AW, but I flew against these guys in a Zeke, BINGO AMMO, and won! Turns out I blew my clip trying to take out Rook (also in a Zeke). Sucker would not go DOWN! I chased him all over, sparks, debris and smoke, but no BOOM. All the time, Crash is trying to line me up in his F4. I ran out of ammo and figured I had nothing left to lose, so I began to chase Crash around, on his six half the time (with no bullets). He ran out of energy trying to shake me off his tail (not knowing I could only lob spitballs at that point) and plowed into the ground! Meanwhile, Rook bailed, cause his horse finally died :-). Of course, I only got the kill for Rook, but I consider Crash's auger a moral victory nonetheless (g).
