Cataline had recently reposted to his blog [http://reactionarytimes.blogspot.com/2017/04/red-pill-review-expanse.html] on the TV series The Expanse.

I’m catching up on a few things after just finishing two books I really liked – The Dream of the Iron Dragon: An Alternate History Viking Epic [https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Iron-Dragon-Alternate-History-ebook/dp/B078WLB2CR] by Robert Kroese, and the completion of John Ringo’s story of Chad on a mission from God inMonster Hunter Memoirs: Saints [https://www.amazon.com/Monster-Hunter-Memoirs-Larry-Correia-ebook/dp/B07DWH717F/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1531274378&sr=1-1&keywords=monster…
