Dissecting Worlds Series 3 Episode 4: Rogue Trooper & Armies

This time the Dissecting Worlds General staff take a close look at 2000ADs premier war story Rogue Trooper and through it armies in science fiction.   On the way they look at (deep breath) Jannissaires  & The Drakan books (& apologies to SM Stirling I don't mean his views are the same as his characters.) Time dilation, post traumatic stress & morally difficult Hawkwind songs. Charley's War & Poppies, Millicom and champgane sipping chateau Generals Robots & the ABC Warriors (including Savage/Invasion) Why fight on a planet's surface when you can blast it from orbit just to be sure? 'Good' Germans, Klingons and Romulons Rogue trooper's tone and British War Comic tradition Retirement plans from Elephantmen to Blade Runner   With more call backs than a Richard herring GigI hope folks enjoy it,   Regard Plugs Mosasic novel project Kehaar mentions there are more details here: http://clarkythecruel.wordpress.com/2010/10/26/a-mosaic-novel-ideas/ And a first chapter here: http://clarkythecruel.wordpress.com/2010/11/12/mosaic-novelthe-golden-egg/   Email [email protected]  or twitter away at @theGrampus for Matt or @Clarkythecruel for the seagull.
