“[A] world in which it is wrong to murder an individual civilian and right to drop a thousand tons of high explosive on a residential area does sometimes make me wonder whether this earth of ours is not a loony bin made use of by some other planet.

“The Romans have provided a lot of writers with a model for various interstellar empires, of course, and no wonder. The Roman Empire is a really good example of a large empire that, in one form or another, functioned for quite a long time over a very large area. And over all that time, there was all sorts of exciting drama - civil wars and assassinations and revolts and bits breaking off and being forced back in ... But I didn't want my future - however fanciful it was - to be entirely European. The Radchaai aren't meant to be Romans in Space.” WantLongWarFormCoursesBitsSpaceWonderExampleDramaLong TimeModelsAreasExcitingVariousCivil WarEmpiresMeant To BeMy FutureRevoltAssassinationRoman EmpireGood ExamplesInterstellar Author:Ann Leckie

“Lord Maccon asked meekly, shifting against her in a manner that ensured she realized the nibbling had affected his outsides just as much as her insides. Alexia was partly shocked, partly intrigued by the idea that as he was naked, she might actually get to see what he looked like. She had seen sketches of the nude male, of course, for purely technical purposes. She was given to wonder if werewolves were anatomically bigger in certain areas.” IfsIdeasMightPurposeCertainCoursesGivenWonderLordAreasBiggerMalesNakedAffectedShockedShiftingWerewolfIntriguedNibbling Author:Gail Carriger
