Could you elaborate for the less informed?

Ah, beans. Thanks for informing me. Flashback was an interesting one. I enjoyed it from the dystopian action sci-fi aspect of it. The politics were a bit heavy handed for sure. Whelp, guess he’s on his way to being dirt or hanging out on someone’s mantle by now, so it can’t get any worse

The very same! He wrote in a ton of different genres, and I’ve enjoyed most all his work. Hopefully he’s not a total dirtbag

Can’t speak to his politics but the Joe Kurtz series by Dan Simmons starting with the book Hardcase was a pretty great tough guy/lone wolf type series

And what about maybe also adding in a friend or relative that’s with you so that you can inform the cop that one of you tells only truths and one of you tells only lies. I think we’re onto something here. ‘Dispatch, I’m gonna need the Riddlemaster to come down here. We got another one.’

That’s a neat idea!
