I swear, if someone writes a novel with most of the standard Ringo-Correia-Whoever setting tropes but the protagonist supports progressive taxation and universal health care, believes in climate change, doesn't believe Jack Bauer Interrogations and that unrestricted markets aren't a great idea who is also a massively badass, highly trained operative with Improbable Aiming Skills who gives the bad guys a fair chance to surrender before blowing them away if given no choice (and not all the bad guys are evil enough to justify blowing away, so they bring a fair number of 'em back alive), I really don't care about the rest of the writing quality, I would so buy it just for the novelty.
