Hooray!

Yeah, that's it!

Steven Lyle Jordan · 03-06-2009, 01:33 PM

That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Darn! I was rooting for "Hip! Hip! Ooops!"

It's now online (I have to go outside and see if it's on the street yet!).

Thanks Steve!

While Jordan’s self-referential tech-nerdiness is the novel’s most irksome narrative, he seems to have a knack for spelling out the etymology of strange technology: In fact, As the Mirror Cracks would probably make for a better alternative history of virtual reality than a sci-fi novel

I think your next novel should be about free-paper journalist who chokes on a thesaurus while having a bad analogy embolism. j/k

BTW, I have finished Coyote Horizon, and The Lens is next.

I certainly hope I do not find it to be better as an alternate history of space ship maintenance and alien culture diplomacy manual than a sci-fi novel!

...I may be able to work that in.

I downloaded Berserker for free during Read an E-Book Week and finally got around to reading it a couple of weeks ago. I loved it! Thank you for the free download.

I purchased The Lens when I finished Berserker and read that in a couple of days, too.

Steve, I really like your writing. Firefly was one of my favourite TV series and Berserker is in the same style. Well done! I found The Lens every bit as enjoyable as Berserker, which I think is unusual for a sequel.

I'm going back to your site now, looking for more of your ebooks... Thanks again!

Steven Lyle Jordan · 06-20-2009, 09:38 AM

Thanks for the kind words! The Kestral stories are fun to write, and I've said before that I could do worse than writing about these characters for the rest of my life. I'm always looking for new story ideas for Kestral, and I've got a few half-baked notions that I might flesh out at one point or another.

Of course, I'm in the middle of a novel now, and it was recently suggested that I consider a full-length sequel to The Onuissance Cells, but I might think of something else between now and then... so who knows what may come out of my fingers next!

Well, you could have the ship hijacked by a Japanese spy menacing them with a squid...

Oh. That's been done. Never mind...

Go to Steve's website and get the bundle if he still has it. you will not regret the purchase at all.

cbell · 06-20-2009, 07:59 PM

Thanks, pshrynk, I've looked at Steve's bundles, but I can't decide what to buy, as the 2 books I have are half of one of the bundles.

I've downloaded excerpts, which I'll read tonight. Its much appreciated that you offer excerpts, Steve. I'm sure I'll be going back to buy from your website again very soon

Looks nice. Will take a peek

*sigh* You compared it to Firefly, so now I have to go see what this is all about. I'm never going to get caught up on my reading list!

Pobrecita! If we have our way with you, you'll never get caught up! Nyah-hah-hah!

Dude... this reminds me, I still have to get The Lens. Read Berserker a few months ago.

To many books and not enough time. Ok, there's enough time but my employer prefers I don't read books all day long while I am working for him.
