    Dark Witch by Nora Roberts - yup, it was a fairly predictable Roberts, first in a trilogy book, but a light, quick read.

      For example, it is a physical impossibility to fly a C-130 off the flight deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier. There's simply not enough room.
      It was first done in 1963, from the USS Forrestal. This was without JDAM's too.

        I stand corrected.

        Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
        To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.

        Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
        And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

                I have a feeling that sales of the series had dropped.
                Which is a shame.

                The series left us hanging with a cliffhanger...!

                            You're not missing much, they sorta went downhill, a bit like King's Dark Tower Series

                            Tell me SF, have you looked at all into the Julian May books I used to bang on about??

                              Julian May is another author I've not read. Do you recommend his work?

                                Hers, and VERY VERY cannot state how much I highly recommend her work.
                                Not the "trillium series" which was co-written with other Authors (though they were not all that bad)
                                These are the ones I recommend - In order

                                The Many Coloured Land
                                The Golden Torc
                                The Non-Born King
                                The Adversary
                                Intervention
                                Jack the Bodiless
                                Diamond Mask
                                Magnificat

                                Dude, this should be your winter reading list, you will LOVE them, and If i'm wrong, I'll buy you a great dress!!
