Why is sending humans to Mars more imaginable than reintroducing wolves to the Scottish highlands? That's a question asked in this book, but it's also a question this book asks of science fiction. As in, every big project that takes long-term plannin ...more |

| Re-reading six years later... it's still very good! One of the best examples of a science fiction heist, where it follows the heist formula perfectly and makes sure every heist element has an interesting different science fiction idea to back it up. ...more | |

Lots going on in this book! Among many themes and topics, it's about living within a political system and trying to protest it, and other trying to work within it... but it's also properly funny and grim and dark all at the same time. Full review on ...more |

Given all your dilligent reviews over the years, including of Reynolds' novels, I'll share this video with you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bd7H... Reynolds, Vernor Vinge, Karl Schroeder and Charlie Stross at a public panel.

Yes, but only when I forget all the stuff I didn't like about the last few books.

I just found a list of Naval Science Fiction http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/31...
I guess it really is a thing. Not that I'd put Ender's Game in there, as that novel at least attempts to come up with a new analogy for space battles rather than doing everything possible to construct a world onto which the tactics and command of 19th century naval battles can be mapped exactly.
Hello Luke. Podcast-listener here. I really enjoy SFBRP. Your passionate British accent and your love for sci-fi shines though. You have inspired me to read more science fiction because till recently I was only into fantasy. Thank you for becoming goodreads friend.
Hey Luke! See you're reading The Hobbit. So sorry. Read that for a Sci-fi/Fantasy lit class in college and could barely finish it.Have you given Metro 2033 a look? It's a russian post-apocalyptic science fiction number. Real bleak. You'd love it.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for becoming my Goodreads friend.Eric

Hello Luke!Thanks for wanting to become my friend. :)
Please take a moment to check out my debut novel, Her Sanctuary which is doing quite well and is available at many bookstore websites including amazon.com where you can "look inside" for a sneak preview.
Please feel free to peruse my profile and see what I'm currently working on.
I look forward to exchanging book recs with you and chatting about, oh, I don't know, whatever comes to mind. :)
Thanks again!
Hey Luke, I'm a long time listener (or at least I've listened to all the SFBRP pod-casts) and finally have gotten around to 'friending' you. Thanks so much for your reviews. They're always thoughtful, passionate and entertaining. Completely agree with your review of Sawyer, except for the last part. I have to live in the same country as the guy, that should be punishment enough -- don't make me read him!
Starshipsofa twittered a 45 min interview with Alastair Reynolds. Guess what, he likes Book of the New Sun, but Schismatic is a favorite (around 19 min in). http://bit.ly/9DoPeq
