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.  8)

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!  ;D

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.  8)

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.
