Mid-January reading: part II

Here's what I'm reading this week:

1)  A Devil of a Whipping:  The Battle of Cowpens by Lawrence Babits.  Read about General Morgan and Tarleton and their respective forces.  Our American Revolution was really a civil war between England and her American colonies.  Most Americans don't think of it that way, though...

2)  Ultima by Stephen Baxter.  I'm at page 116 of the novel.  It's the Roman Empire in space and their Celtic interstellar flight crews.  Interesting premise to the book...

3)  Eden to Armageddon by Ford.  Interesting history of WWI in the Middle East.  Started with the Allied Campaign in Mesopotamia...

4)  Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson.  Hard Sci-Fi novel about the colonization of Mars in the year 2026.  I'm currently on page 96....
