A covert team of elite operatives are living in the shadows. When a ruthless despot steals a billion-dollar fortune, they're sent to take it back-an impossible heist that erupts into a deadly game of strategy, deception and survival.
In the evening Esme and I watched In the Grey. At first I didn't like the movie much: too chaotic. But then it got better and I even rate it an 8 out of 10.
In the evening I finished The Dirdir, part 3 of 4 of Tschai by Jack Vance. It was an excellent reread, I really like this book.
The Pnume are native to Tschai, living underground in a vast network of caverns with their human slave-species, the Pnumekin. Historians of Tschai, the Pnume collect its past with scholarly disinterest; they hear rumors of Adam Reith - a man who claims to come from another planet, named Earth - and they want him for permanent display in Foreverness, museum of Tschai life! Reith must survive the Pnume tunnels, if he is ever to return to Earth.
In the evening I started in The Pnume, part 4 of 4 of Tschai by Jack Vance. The ebook I had downloaded has cover art by David Russell.
In the early evening Esme and I went out for a walk with our cat, Lina. We keep her on a leash to which she is used. We live near a busy road so she is only allowed out of the house when she is on a leash, even in our garden.
After walking for some time we left an alleyway and came upon an area with parked cars. There I saw another cat, a nice looking gray cat. It walked towards me and then spotted Lina. And Lina spotted the gray cat and went down on her belly.
Nothing was happening between the two cats; they were just watching each other. Until... a loud angry yowl sounded: another cat showed up, an orange one.
The gray cat immediately turned in the direction of the newcomer. We decided to take Lina away and slowly walked back towards the alleyway. When we walked down the alleyway Lina was quite upset. She hissed and attacked Esme's legs. When I looked back I saw the red cat looking at us. After a bit more walking Lina calmed down and soon we were back in the house. Quite an adventure for Lina.
