All day family outing starting soon but please accept this short post about a single word. The image shows the Battle of Lepanto.

Kaor, Paul!
And it was only yesterday that I read exactly that bit you quoted from Chapter 12 of Drake/Stirling's THE FORGE. The Drangosh River formed a natural border between the Civil Government and the Colony. One both powers found reasonably defensible.
And the Battle of Lepanto will always bring to my mind as well Chesterton's long poem LEPANTO.

Sean,
You have just overtaken me with THE FORGE. I am reading several different items at present.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
I too often do that as well, reading several books in alternation! Besides THE FORGE, I'm reading Robert Zubrin's THE CASE FOR SPACE and Julian May's THE NON-BORN KING. I know it's more efficient to read just one book at a time, but I often feel like varying what I read.

Sean,
In the evening, I try to relax from reading in order to blog but then I find something to blog about in the alternative reading.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
And I am glad you can do that!
One thought I had about Tipler's THE PHYSICS OF CHRISTIANITY is that I would be very glad if a Catholic scholar who was also a scientist and theologian reviewed that book. I feel quite inadequate about seriously commenting on Tipler's fascinating, and often mind DAZING book.
Sean
