The second chance series by R Richard on fictionwise

http://www.fictionwise.com/eBooks/rrich ... .htm?cache

I almost posted it in "link to good reading" but the trend there seem to be for free web-reads. so this thread is probably the correct one, as it's not quite free

A nice e-book I discovered a while ago. Nothing earthshaking and certainly not high litterature, but an hilarious funny and fresh read. just good and very original yarn.
How original? well the hero or antihero as the case might be, has absolutely no morals lol
For the themes, you have magic, space ships, martial arts, politics, alien civilizations, high tech, and psionics. there are currently 6 ebooks in the series:

Anyway, I greatly enjoyed them. I thought I'd share. Try the first book for size. it's a bit like the Stainless steel rat on steroids

-Mercedes Thompson serie from Patricia Briggs

The scenario for both are modern times, where vampires and other magical creatures have started to come out of hiding.

I've just finished reading "Sandman Slim" by Richard Kadrey. Excelent book, modern time fantasy.

Oddly enough, I just finished reading "Sandman Slim" as well and I agree, very good book.

I recommend checking out "A Madness of Angels" by Kate Griffin. Very good read - it has an interesting take on modern day magic.

Also check out the "Death's Head" books by David Gunn. 3 Books so far, not sure if this is meant to be a trilogy or series. These are military/sci-fi.

[firedrake3]

Currently I'm reading Jane Austen & Seth Grahame-Smith - Pride and Prejudice - and Zombies: The Classic Regency Romance - Now With Ultraviolent Zombie Mayhem.

A new trilogy called The Night Angel by Brent Weeks

i must have read this like 5 times if you like dark fantasy

amazing trilogy if you liked those try the prince of nothing trilogy and the painted man series (only 1 book out so far), theres also the chronicles of the necromancer book which is kinda similar. Also the sundering (2 book series) by by Jacqueline Carey, composed of Banewreaker, and Godslayer are really really good reads.

The deaths head books are amusing, reminds me of the orphans series by Buetner, the Clone series by Kent and the Vampire Earth series also.

yes it has ...it took me a bit to find what you quoted it's was qrininaly posted by depomm on 11 Mar 2005
almost as longs as you've been a member here .......so it's kinda understandable that things change in 5 years.
you have to always check the dates on things here.

Hell the author dosen't even go by the name ellagon any more ...he's now known as Sir Winston and has his own site.

i know a lot of these may be outdated but others aren't and haveing them is always nice when your looking for
something posted long ago..or something you may not have read yet

it's alwasy nice to still be able to find clues to where and when to start looking ...also others here can lots of times
be big helps in remembering this and that and knowing tid bits as well.

thanks for helping though it would have been useful to know.
