Favorite Scenes/Characters from A Meeting At Corvallis?
Curious folks want to know.
[Sorry for the raggedness and punctuation errors that fill the review. Will address that later.]
I'll start:
The battle between the Protectorate and the Bearkillers at the ruins of Salem. Tense and with great detail, demonstrating that warfare in the post-Change world is more a combination of the medieval with the American Civil War than straight Middle Ages.
I also liked Mike's joust with "dickweed," the son of the ex-Hell's Angel.
Astrid bringing her "collection" to Corvallis.
Characters: Conrad Renfrew, the Grand Constable of the Protectorate. And, unless I miss my guess, the scarring is a nod to Gothmog, the orc commander at Pelennor Fields in the film version of Return of the King.
By all means, chime in.
A middle-aged husband, father, bibliophile and history enthusiast commenting to no one in particular.

Be reasonably civil. Ire alloyed with reason is fine. But slagging the host gets you the banhammer.
