Talk:Days of Infamy Series

Well here's a faintly embarrassing question but would anyone happen to know whether Robert Conroy's 1942 is any good? I was at the bookstore yesterday, see, and I noticed it prominently displayed, and I'm always a sucker for very attractive covers. I perused it a bit and it actually seemed all right, but I wasn't about to bite just yet because Conroy's so suspect. I was looking on Amazon and there are only two reviews, neither of which is the kind of "Eww, this sucks!" that other Conroy books would deserve.

I'm asking here because one of the reviews said it would suffer from comparison with DoI. Since DoI didn't do much for me I was taking that as a bad sign. But anyway, I needed some place where I could ask you guys, and since (thank God) this isn't a Conroy Wiki, I knew I'd have to stretch a bit.

I also saw that it's being packaged into one of those "Buy All Three" deals along with Birmo's latest novel about the spontaneous extinction of H sapiens here on North America and the upcoming solo project by William Forstchen (that reminds me, it's time to start thinking about the next installment in the WWII series he's cowriting with Gingrich) about an EMP wiping the US out. Both of the others tickled my fancy despite their frightening premises. Turtle Fan 05:21, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
