Thanks, Charlie. I was thinking that that should be what happened, but couldn't remember.

My pleasure. I'm actually quite surprised at some of the numbers there. Vorkosigan tailing near the bottom of the top 10? And Foundation second? Neither are where I would have put them, at least on my personal list.

I noticed your fav, the Foreigner universe series wasn’t included. Surprising, as it it’s so highly rated. That said, I’m pleasantly surprised to see Liaden. I’ve been disappointed a number of times seeing it left off lists. Maybe it’s finally gaining a wider mainstream audience.

CRussel · 01-26-2020, 04:04 PM

Yes, it's a very odd list in some ways. I'm less surprised about Foreigner, though. It's not for everyone, but it's certainly a fit for me.

Charlie.

Xanthe · 01-29-2020, 12:41 AM

I cast my vote - for the Liaden Universe, of course. Honor Harrington would have been my second choice.

Thanks for letting us know about it!

CRussel · 01-29-2020, 01:41 AM

You're welcome.

In other news, a new chapbook is due out "RSN". It's a novella currently at 18k words. But with Boskone upcoming, it might not be out until the end of February.

The Gate That Locks the Tree is available for pre-order, and will release Wednesday. https://smile.amazon.com/Gate-that-L.../dp/B084TCQH4W

And, just for the fun of it, an interesting, no-cannon, splinter is up on the SplinterUniverse: Shan's getting married.

Victoria · 02-19-2020, 03:35 PM

Thanks for the heads up. Interesting snippet on Shan’s marriage. I’m glad they allowed Er Thom to develop as he did. Showing understanding as a father was more consistent with who his experiences in younger years.

Bought, downloaded and read. This is an unexpectedly excellent novella set in Surebleak and featuring the taxi driver Vertu, among others. I've always enjoyed Lee & Miller's shorter works, but this one went down some roads I hadn't quite expected. Highly recommended.

Victoria · 02-22-2020, 12:41 PM

I just heard about this new find on a science radio show (Quirks & Quarks). Ancestors of the Clutch Turtles?

Indeed, the size appears about right. I'm not sure how well they could sing, however?

(And yes, Q&Q is a favourite.)
