Just got the new book 'Hydrogen Sonata', I have a large reading backlog, but I suspect this my jump the queue!

Oh, was that topic 5000 Nik?      <:-P

Reckon it was Lemmey...HUZZAH !!
Cheers - Phil.

That was my first inkling that there was a new book out. I liked Surface Detail a lot - it wasn't quite so grim as the previous ones.

Great interview, amazing how much detail he packs into one sentence! Now I'll be re-reading all his books in a Scottish accent though!

My absolute favourite author and the only one who can sell me hardbacks.  I just can't wait until the paperbacks are released.

If you like him try Neal Asher too!

And Alastair Reynolds. Terminal World was probably the best sci-fi book I read this year.

Good SF huh?  I might look into him, haven't read anything by him, and the last tip I got on this forum, Serenity / Firefly, turned out great, I now own both the movie and the series and am looking for the Margaret Weiss RPG rules.
