This was disappointing.

Started well, although his sister asking him to do that caught me off-guard.

I've been disappointed. The author has a tendency to repeat.

ryanmcbeth.substack.com/p/signs-of-war-with-china states the undermentioned:

In my novel “The Win Machine,” one plot point involves China’s attempt to break the Guinness Book of World Records in blood donated during a single day. Since blood donation is not popular in China, it is seen as a prelude to war.

What a brilliant premise.

Per reddit.com/r/TheForeverWinter/comments/1gf1yr7/comment/luejrqj:

Ian Harac's 2012 novel Medic! to the extent that I'm actually suspicious that Forever Winter might be a deliberate lawyer-friendly homage.

An originally cyberpunk world deteriorated into an endless apocalyptic war with all human commanding officers dead in the first strike leaving the military planning AIs now running their factions unleashed without anyone left with the authority to tell them to stop? Armies made up of von neumann killbots and humans pressganged by the AIs through doling out what little supplies remain to victorious mercenaries or forcible cybernetic implants? A malfunctioning damaged battlefield medic robotic autodoc which has modified itself with scavenged weaponry from derelict killbots and uses victims as raw materials and spare parts? And in the trailers if not the game proper yet, a character who's a rudimentary cyborg with their head replace by a swivel-mounted gun?

Medic! has them all too.

My mother recommended it to me.

My father recommended it to me.

Stephen Baxter had the Ring, which is the explanation for the Great Attractor in his Xelee books. It's a megastructure millions (I think) of light years across.
