Two books completed:
"The Nano Flower", by Peter F. Hamilton. The third (and, so far, final) book in the Greg Mandel series of SF detective stories. The book is set 17 years after the second book. The husband of Julia Evans, the billionairess owner of Event Horizon has vanished, but 7 months later she receives a flower from him which proves to be of alien origin. Julia asks her old friend Greg Mandel, long retired from the detective business, to help her both track down her husband and find the origin of the flower. Absolutely excellent. If anyone hasn't read this series, I highly recommend it!
"Blood and Judgment", by Lars Walker. Bought from Baen in December 2003. A high-school English teacher and amateur actor rehearsing for the role of "Hamlet" is thrown, along with the rest of his acting company, into a world in which the play is real. Can they change the storyline to avoid the bloodbath that the play ends in, and find their way home? I didn't particularly enjoy this. Average at best. Not recommended.
