Debbie Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 In the same vein as David Brin, and just as good, is Peter F Hamilton. The 'Night's Dawn' trilogy is really superb, set in the far future when many worlds are being colonised. It looks at genetic engineering and the moral difficulties, as well as being a good against evil space operal. It has an excellent ending with religious overtones, but not at all like Philip Pullman, but much more positive. If you like crime the 'Greg Mandel' books mix scifi and crime and are set in a near future where Britain has been subject to global warming, and is just coming out of a dictatorship that was because of the emergency of losing so much land to rising sea levels. The latest series is Pandora's Star, which i have discussed elsewhere. I always really enjoy these books Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yin/yang Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I heard tell that female sci fi readers were remarkably intelligent. I found myself desperately hunting for one i could understand so i could join the club. Sadly this author is one i struggle to read. I tried one page and found myself sucked into watching a fly circling the light....eyes went back to the page and then i noticed how pretty the pattern of the net curtains were....then i gave up.
