This has to be the single worst book I have ever had the misfortune to read.
The sole purpose of the book seems to be to show off the authors knowledge of planes.
The first two chapters were nothing but exposition in a conversation between two characters. The was not an ounce of character development...

The curse of the missing half star strikes again. Calling this book a three would be a disservice, but it's not quite entertaining enough to be a full four.

Heathern, the sequel to Ambient and Terraplane, has been praised by William Gibson as a "savage urban baroque informed by a penetrating humanity ... his best so far!" Tautly written and appallingly funny, Heathern is a dystopian tale of corporate combat and media warfare in the fading years of our century.

Author

Rudy Rucker

Perhaps I should say why I have read this book in the first place: Rudy Rucker is a mathematician, a set theorist to be precise, and this book, his opera prima, was written around a central theme: infinity. To write fiction trying to convey Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers is no minor feat, and that...

Author	Jon Courtenay Grimwood
ISBN	0671022601

RedRobe is a fastpaced and entertaining read, a SF thriller where - as in some of his previous work - Grimwood answers accusations of 'you can't get there from here' by setting it in the future of a parallel world where history diverges from our own somewhere in the mid-19th century. Religious orders are...
