Killer. i hadn't thought of that series (that i did the artwork for the rulebook of the RPG they put out for).
The upstream Americans (the people of Gainsville) had a denist and one of the downstream (the people of 1600s) Scottish cavalry leaders fell in love with the head of the high school cheerleading squad (who happened to be one hell of a sniper)... the dentist was also said cheerleaders father. He wouldn't ask her to be with him, because he was very self-concious of how bad his teeth where when compared to those of the 'upstream' American men. And he went through hell getting all the dental work done without ANY anesteasa at all... once that hell was over, he then asked her if they could date... and you know what happened after that. 
i stopped reading after the second book (wasn't able to get a copy of it, hell... i don't get out even to the damn library anymore, how pathetic is that?).

Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
