I didn’t switch sides. I stopped playing.
After a few decades, you come to a place where you realize that there's really no difference between trying and not trying... If someone is ready to accept Christ, it doesn't take much effort on my pa...
Mr. Dowd, Miller said. What I am about to do to you is literally the only bright spot in my day. If you could see your way clear to resisting arrest, I’d really appreciate it. Harry?
I’m rich in interpretation and poor in datasets,
When it comes to scrapes, I'm what you might call a talented amateur. But I've gotten a good look at that women in and out of that fancy mechanical shell she wears. She's a pro. We're not playing the...
Yeah, Chris said. I lose a couple limbs getting drunk and falling into harvesting combine, I'm an idiot. I lose the same limbs because I happened to be standing next to the right door when the ship wa...
I want this war over with, and a real peace established. The kind where people can be angry with each other and hate each other and no one has to die over it. That’d be enough.
The damage to her body, the wear and the weariness, were all products of conscious, determined choices made by a girl she hadn’t been in decades. She carried the weight of those decisions like a sack...

Frederick Lucius Johnson. Former colonel in Earth’s armed forces, Butcher of Anderson Station. Thoth Station now too. Unelected prime minister of the OPA. He had faced his own mortality a dozen times,...
Lost cause. Amos will be murdered by space hookers, but at least he’ll die the way he lived.
Ouch. Fuck. What’s that, Chief? Alex asked. Nothing. Just went a hundred kph when twenty would have done,
It was a real book—onionskin pages bound in what might have been actual leather. Miller had seen pictures of them before; the idea of that much weight for a single megabyte of data struck him as decad...
I know it's none of my business, but I really wouldn't let her put you off. So you don't understand sex and love and women. Just means you were born with a cock. And this girl? Naomi? She seems like s...
