 recently read a scifi novel named 'the Vorpal Blade', by john ringo & travis taylor. it was about a US nuclear sub turned into a FTL interstellar warship by inclusion of an alien artifact that turned out to be a ftl engine. i'd forgot they named it based on jabberwocky. it had a swordlike protrusion from it's bow...just thought it was amusing how these weapons terms get introduced into everyday usage and how their original meanings get mangled.. |

Any good? I'm having problems finding decent SF novels a la Bradbury, Asimov, Drake, Bova, MacCaffrey, Bear...
