Finished it over the weekend. Loved the fact that Randy Brigs had such a big role. He's absolutely my favorite character. (Could be that I identified with his computer programmer attitudes?)

I just pulled Persuasion onto my Kindle from the MobileRead library. I've put [url=http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006NZ77JI/]For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund onto my wishlist at Amazon. Since the reviews say that this is a retelling of Persuasion, I want to have read the original before I tackle the newer story.

This book, as with the rest of the series, came from Baen eBooks.
Finished Earth Awakens at lunch today and I'm going to take a diversion to read two library books which showed up from hold requests I placed earlier. Reading Running Blind by Lee Child (Jack Reacher #4) and The Martian by Andy Weir. I may have to get a copy of Man Plus by Frederick Pohl to read for comparison with The Martian.
