Thank you.

The pages that we'll never get back. Hey everyone, it's 372 pages we'll never get back.

Hey, everyone, it's 372 pages we'll never get back. I am Michael J. Nelson. I'm Connor Lestock, and that's the first time ever heard the lyrics of that song. Oh, you didn't know there were lyrics? It's like the Beverly Hillbillies. No, wait, that one's pretty clear. It has lyrics. Very famous lyrics. No, there's one. there's, oh, maybe I think of mash or maybe I think of after mash.

Could that be it? I think MASH has lyrics as well. Isn't that like suicide is painless? Yes, you are correct. I think you're thinking of Sanford and Son. Yes, the famous Sanford and on lyrics. It's on lyrics.

Yeah, anyway, this is a podcast.

This is one where we talk about, Connor and I, talk about books that we will probably hate.

We've been through the Ernest Klineverse, and we are in the Gulart-Shattnerverse now with Tech War.

Tech Wars? Tech War. Tech War, you discovered the rest of the

Tech War novels today, which was something we had not really thought to look up. Yeah, that was a big

lapse in our not doing our research. Boy, oh boy, those were good, good titles. Do you have them

at hand? I do. It was a shame because we could have easily done it as a guessing game.

But they, you know, you start with tech war. And, you know, that's... Yes. And once again, one word, I think there was confusion about that. Yeah, we were confused, but like, it's, sure, it's catchy. Like, it delivers what it promises. Second one is tech lords. Yeah, it fits in with the tech lords.

Yeah, drug lords and Yeah, fits in with the tech lords.

Yeah, drug lords. And they're here and then

they're running things out of their tech lab.

Tech lab. I like it. Yes.

I took a tech lab. Everyone in my high school

and take a tech lab senior year. I did

video tech. Then they abandoned the one word thing. They start

listing them as two words. Tech vengeance. Which is a little, that's getting a little into like, you know, airport novels type of things.

Yeah, it doesn't roll off the tongue, but still, yeah, at least they're in the universe. That's when they replace the actor who's been playing Jake, you know? They put Jeremy Renner to play him and people are like, what are we doing? Like, uh, then it goes to tech secret. Ooh. Not good. Yeah. Yeah. We've, we've, the car is spinning. The wheels are doing that floppy back and forth thing where it's like, oh my God, we are going to crash this thing. But then they start just drawing them out of the hat when the, when the agent calls and

is like, what do you got next?
