Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow Cont.

More games and more rivalry between Sadie and Mazur (Sam's new name).  The game that was a flop as a game reemerges as a world like Sim City and is successful.  Maple World -- the side that Sam built.  It becomes a utopian on-line world.  Gay marriage is fine, diversity, etc.  Some users become angry.  Attack on office to kill Sam, but he's not there.  Marks gets shot instead.  Induced coma.  Sadie pregnant with M.'s child.  Marks dies.  Sadie can't go back to work.  Mazer/Sam does.  Two are rent asunder . . . will they come back together? 


Good writing . . . too long . . . the section where Marks is in an induced coma and describes what's going on is, for example, excellent until it drags on.

He became one of the most influential and admired British generals after a series of successes in Canada, West Africa, and Egypt, followed by a central role in modernizing the British Army in promoting efficiency. He served in Burma, the  Crimean War , the  Indian Mutiny , China, Canada and widely throughout Africa—including his  Ashanti  campaign (1873–1874) and the  Nile Exp
