+1 just for using “narc”. Which by the way, reminds me every time, of the arcade game of the same name. Loved that game. 🚀

Dang. Does that mean I need to finish it all out?? 😂

I was very happy to stumble upon this post. I’ve been struggling through The Dark Forest for what feels like forever. I’m usually a pretty voracious reader, but this series is like quicksand to me. It’s really really boring. I just keep hoping it will get interesting. It threatens to…and then starts sucking again. I never DNF books, but I’m so SO tempted here. Glad there are others out there!

Yes!! Another fan. I loved it. Dark, tough guy nonsense and humor. Such a fun series!

I’ve enjoyed everything he’s written. Good suggestion. In a similar, rule-breaking suggestion, Jeff Somers Avery Cates series is also very enjoyable. It also was first published in 2007. T’was a good year. 😏

From quick research, it certainly seems to be the preferred alternative. It’s been around for quite awhile and look to have a legit business model. I also found an open source app that looks decent.

Isn’t the Pine64 product called the PineBuds? The case is nicked the Pinepod, but that’s not really the same.
