Passenger by Alexandre Bracken. First time thru I couldn't make it past preface, but several good reviews by friends convinced me to give it another try. So far, worth the read.

The Collected Short Works of Poul Anderson, Volume 4: Admiralty by Poul Anderson

[Esther]

Finished Doomsday Book which was disappointing not really scifi though because of the time travel is classed as such.

Finished Rotherweird which was excellent but fantasy not scifi.

Have just started The Collapsing Empire which is both excellent and scifi.

[Ruth]

Esther, I just finished "The Collapsing Empire" a couple of weeks ago. I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the next one in the series. Scalzi has become one of my favorite Science Fiction writers in the last few years.

I second that.

I have an ongoing quest to decipher and read through the Star Wars Expanded Universe and the Star Wars canon, and i'm currently reading Matthew Stover's excellent novelization of Revenge of the Sith. Holy crap is it better than most of the movie.

Coming Home by Tom Rogneby

[Dan]

Remember the book that started the Death Star cheeseball discussion? Well, I now have a copy of it: Brian M. Stableford's Days of Glory. I got it mostly for laughs and to see what Stableford's 1971 Death Star looked like. I thought the book was going to be so bad I could make fun of it as I read it. I was stunned to discover it's actually a pretty decent homage to Homer's Iliad so far, with a little of Battlestar Galactica's theme thrown in. I've ordered the other two books in the trilogy.

Warning: the novel is also not as short as its 158 pages would suggest. The print is small. It would clear 300 pages in a modern edition. The writing is also highly compressed. It's like a 500 page novel told in one third the space. He throws 18 characters at you in the first three pages to give just one example.

Some of the reviews might make you think the trilogy was written for children. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's well-written High Space Opera, a fitting introduction to the Death Star concept after all.

[Scott]

I miss the days when books were in smaller print.

[Mickey]

I miss the days when I could read the smaller print without a magnifying glass.

[AMD]

I love the days digital enlarges or shrinks print size. 😁

In the Wikipedia article on space opera, the last paragraph of the history section mentions the British New Space Opera of the 1970s: "McAuley and Michael Levy identify Iain M. Banks, Stephen Baxter, M. John Harrison, Alastair Reynolds, McAuley himself, Ken MacLeod, Peter F. Hamilton, and Justina Robson as the most notable practitioners of the new space opera." I now wonder if these writers weren't drawing inspiration from Michael M. Stableford, their contemporary and predecessor by a few years.

[Rafael]

I am reading Foundation and Empire by Isaac Asimov.

[Maggie, space cruisin' for a bruisin']
