Apparently they might be able to set me up with a new Dec 2005 code after I botched it while buying yesterday. I've just gone and bought a Fairwood Press bundle from them in thanks.
Also, Sheffield is generally supposed to be pretty good if you do like hard sci-fi (apparently he also wrote some softer, more social sci-fi as well; I've only read a few of his works). He was an actual physicist while he was still alive, and married to Nancy Kress, who's a Hugo/Nebula Winner. It's actually because I liked her stories so much that I started looking into his work.

I've read all his work and there is some variety - certainly some of your former and there's space opera and Cold As Ice series for example, which is near future, solar system murder mystery type deal. Complete with Wolfeian iconoclast. Was also a very talented short fiction writer. Not as good as the spousal unit, but pretty good. Definitely a better novelist though.
