Yes, that was fun. Next up is The Tuloriad by John Ringo & Tom Kratman.

This is another novel in Ringo's Posleen universe. It reveals more than any other about the Aldenata and Posleen origins. The story is quite fun, although the climax seems oddly pointless.

It has a preachy and irritating (to me) afterword. It's as if C. S. Lewis had added an afterword to "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" emphasising how important faith is. Sigh...


Anyway, now for something different. Kim Stanley Robinson's Red Mars and Green Mars in an omnibus volume. Hey - it's even still available from Fictionwise, though only in PDB or PDF formats. But a lot cheaper than buying the separate volumes at Amazon.

I've heard good things about these, now to find out if I agree.
