You dirty bastards. You rotten sons-a-bitches. You...mad geniuses. Some of you have been pestering me to write about this for years. But it always seemed dull. It might have been a good idea for Before the Weser, but not a stand alone novel. Then one of you smart asses pointed out that it could be combined with stories from elsewhere in the theatre. And thus World War 1990: GIUK Gap was conceived.
Yes, yes...the Soviet assault on Iceland. Readers will recall a Marine division was rushed there as the war began. We'd also write about the submarine defense line: subs, hunter-killer surface groups, Orions and Nimrods. Why not Admiral Clapp (remember him) and a British carrier battlegroup? The Canadian Navy and air force. Soviet Backfire raids- we could bring back the guys from 3 Seas. Just think of the possibilities.
Now excuse us while we curse more.
What Will's Watching: Fantastic Voyage was on last night. Boy is this movie dull. And if we want to gawk at Raquel Welch, we have google...ah, there we go. Enchanting. Of course her best work was on Seinfeld. We do like late mid-century futurism though. Andromeda Strain is better.
A long slog lays ahead with The Final Storm. We'll work through it all this month. But if the goal is put out product and move merch, The Weser is a lot closer to being done. [You bastard-Ed]. Just thinking out loud, luv.
