reading SM Stirling's Emberverse series;
rereading parts of Poul Anderson's Dominic Flandry series;
starting yet again to reread Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy.
While rereading, it is possible to notice many details as if for the first time. All three authors present a wealth of fictional and descriptive details that are probably missed on a first reading, e.g., a summer evening or a Dennitzan forest. I have read and posted about Stirling's The Peshawar Lancers and Conquistador twice and Anderson's The People Of The Wind maybe three times.
The Millennium Trilogy previously generated several comparisons and contrasts with Anderson's works (see here). This might happen again although blogging is unpredictable.

Kaor, Paul!
Doesn't Larsson's MILLENNIUM TRILOGY also go over the problems posed by paranoia in intelligence/counter intelligence work brought up by your recent blog piece about A KNIGHT OF GHOSTS AND SHADOWS? I mean, some agents in Swedish Intelligence became perhaps OVER obsessed with tracking down moles working for the USSR.

Sean,
Right on! It puzzled one character that he could NEVER find any evidence that a particular Prime Minister was a Russian agent.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
That character should have considered that the PM was INNOCENT of being a Soviet stooge!
