Sturgeon Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 Upon the recommendation of some folks with whom I have since and as a direct result cut all ties (hi Jeff!), I watched the enema Black Lagoon; to the creators of which I have to give a lot of credit, really, as not many publishers would take such a gamble on a script so obviously written by an 8-year-old.Well, despite a premise which seemingly couldn't go wrong, between the lazy animation, the lack of attention to detail to central props and settings, and the horrible, horrible script, I have been left, like a high dollar whore hired by a man with more money than bedroom vigor, grumpy and unsatisfied. Falkenberg's Legion, Janissaries, Space Viking, The Wild Geese, Far Cry; all those I've really liked, though I'm more in the mood for something with a modern setting (bonus points if it's in Southeast Asia; Heart of Darkness with FALs has been done to death).So hit me. Good merc/military fiction, set on the edge of civilization, where a group of likeable-but-violent rogues carves out their own niche in a chaotic world. Also guns n stuff pewpewpewpewpew KABOOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belesarius Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 John Ringo's Paladin of Shadows series? I mean for the first two books you really have to work on suspending your disbelief, but they are fun in an updated sort of Mack Bolan kind of way.
