@mwl Fun fact: this is the first fiction book I buy from Mr Lucas. I have a lot of his technical volumes though.I will now read the Orcibus in between two technical tomes, and mercilessly troll the author as is my right as a certified Mastodon smart aleck ™. 🙃

@mwl Trolling? Oh, absolutely! 😂 Seriously though: beautiful book.One demerit point immediately for signing the first page upside down though. 🙃

@ParadeGrotesque The upside-down signature is a one bit authenticity checksum. Check my signature on other books to other people.

@mwl 1 bit checksum, you say? 🧐OK, "other people", can anyone confirm this?

The Orcibus, page 120, "Drowned Mirovar': "The human gods were cruel.Maybe that's why men ruled America".My, my, that dear Mr Lucas does have a way with words. I love it so far. @mwl

Yeah, that's the problem with that @mwl guy. His tec stuff is freakin' gorgeous, but his fiction might be even better. He should definitely write some more.Well @ParadeGrotesque, what are you waiting for? Eat it.

@jack Eat the book? What a strange suggestion! 😂I will read it, definitely. Knowing how the Orcs will outsmart everyone else is definitely fun!@mwl

@ParadeGrotesque @mwl The orcish palate is different than a human’s. You might have heard that orcs can’t stand sugar, or enjoy spices that would kill the most devoted hot sauce acolyte, but we have a surprising amount in common.
