I have been hooked on the Revelation Space and Xeelee books for a while now and, as much as I enjoy them, I'm more intrigued by the idea of "Space is the enemy" in Blue Remembered Earth at this point.

The depiction of realistic starship over an inhospitable world signalled that it would be hard science fiction. I'm an engineer/patent attorney and really enjoy realistic science fiction.<br /><br />Chasm City had the absolute best opening of any book, of any genre, that I'd ever read. I was completely hooked on the Revelation Space universe.<br /><br />You create great stories that are respectful of scientific reality; which makes them even greater. You also have a great imagination in creating future societies. (I'd like to see someone speak "Canasian".)<br /><br />To your credit, you've transversed three common conventions of SF:<br />1. You do not treat relativity as a nuissance to be technobabbled away.<br />2. You do not assume that the global future will be a giant USA. (The Afrocentric world of Poseidon's Children is brilliant).<br />3. Your universe, like the real one, is filled with unintended consequences and failures.<br /><br />I have a feeling Poseidon's Children will be even better than Revelation Space. <br /><br />Happy New Year,<br /><br />GusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143440998478479157.post-45323371193899947172010-12-29T09:24:44.826-08:002010-12-29T09:24:44.826-08:00Two books in 2011 would be fantastic.
