As for me, my children bought me Galactic North. The best way to spend a boxing day - loving the worms - and may keep me going till release day. <br /><br />Have to say, I am a little nervous. But you have never disappointed yet (no pressure by the way). <br /><br />How about a book signing in Cardiff? Or even better, a mini-signing in Penarth, followed by a cuppa round at mine. <br />(I wouldn't suggest Barry as even a prophet has no honour in his home town). <br />OK. Been reading Postsingular -Rudy Rucker-since 5am (really out there) and now ready to go back to Mars with Clavain for the rest of the morning. <br /><br />Nadolig llawen.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462169056716498505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143440998478479157.post-81326233538175923102011-12-26T11:39:44.183-08:002011-12-26T11:39:44.183-08:00Locus Online just posted a positive review of it t...Locus Online just posted a positive review of it that was excerpted from their magazine:<br /><br />http://www.locusmag.com/Reviews/2011/12/gary-k-wolfe-reviews-alastair-reynolds/Andrew Breitenbachnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143440998478479157.post-18335760448138101732011-12-25T01:32:58.813-08:002011-12-25T01:32:58.813-08:00Fantastic is understating it a tad, it is absolute...Fantastic is understating it a tad, it is absolutely gorgeousSteve Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5143440998478479157.post-29760670053044358072011-12-23T14:20:15.718-08:002011-12-23T14:20:15.718-08:00January is shaping up to be quite an expensive mon...January is shaping up to be quite an expensive month, with new hardbacks on order from yourself, John Meaney and Paul McAuley.
