We're of the same mind about Amazon. With the stuff I've bought from them, they've always treated me right, and they have a no-questions-asked return policy, also postage paid. Sometimes I'll find cheaper prices, but not often, and I usually opt for the known quantity I get with Amazon. Them, Cabella's, and MidwayUSA probably get 99% of my internet business WRT Dies The Fire, I'm reminded of the TV series "Lost." I got hooked on the series for almost the whole first season, but got frustrated with all the unexplained things that kept happening, a seemingly non-ending spiral of mystery. I finally quit watching, I can only take so much improbability. As a youngster, I was a fairly avid SiFi reader, and it didn't take long to realize that Asimov and Heinlein wrote stories that were believable, despite being set in a far-away future. So, as I said, Dies the Fire just isn't my cuppa tea. I can accept mystical events causing a societal regression, but not a continuing chain of improbability.
