This being the time of year before the summer books come out, I've been buying some indie and some backlist. The indie was the standard indie pulp/fanfic quality stuff. The backlist was a number of Mike Resnick's books including the John Justin Mallory Mystery books and his Myths of the far future books (The Widowmaker series, The Oracle trilogy and the second of the Santiago books). I also picked up a couple of his more recent books. I really like his Far Future books, which is basically Outer Space as the Wild West. I'm not nearly as fond as his Outer Space as Africa being colonized books.
