I don’t think there will be any pigeon on a deserted island since the pigeon would have to fly over the water to get there and pigeon fly mostly over land ( I think)

Correction: A-Bombs are highly inefficient. Throw a package of nitroglycerin that’s about to detonate, and throw it like a hail mary.

If you happen to be stranded on an island in the South Pacific, you might actually be able to see/hunt some island pigeons!

I have read the first one but… The books aren’t actually as good as the movies (for me). Just not the sort of hard scifi I read. :man_shrugging:

Y’all are really into sci-fi aren’t you :rofl: That’s awesome! But I’m also a really big fan of suspense (Eloy Moreno, his books keep me hooked). And a bit of horror, like Stephen King. Have you guys read Frankenstein? The characters talk in a very old-timey fashion, but its a great book!

Yes i read basically the same as BotWarrior but he forgot to add an amazing author Brandon Sanderson for making Mistborn, Alcatraz. Also how dare you forget Dennis.E.Taylor for making my all time favourite series Bobiverse. Also @Luke have you read the bobiverse? If you havent you should.
