Most enjoyable.
I then read
The Wellstone by Will McCarthy. A continuation of his Queendom of Sol series, but with an odd framing from a more distant future, which I thought detracted from the story a bit.
Next were three Valdemar books,
Arrows of the Queen, Arrow's Flight, Arrow's Fall, which were excellent. Having started this read/re-read of the series with all the prequels, it was fun to see how much was mentioned in these first three books.
The I read the third of the Queendom of Sol books,
Lost in Transmission. I enjoyed it, but it continued the odd framing device, which I still didn't like.
Then a new purchase:
Goodnight, Mr James & Other Stories by Clifford D Simak. Part of a series of books collecting all his short fiction. I thought that starting with a book half way through the series would be a drawback, but I couldn't see any logic to the selections. They were all good.
And finally bringing myself up-to-day, I'm reading
Uprising by Justin Kemppainen. A self-published post-apocalyptic novel, I'm not sure I'm going to finish it.
