Ever get around to "The Forever War"? it is one that you won't put down. Doing it now! Feels a little bit Starship Trooper'y...

Resurrectionist by James McGee, the second of his Matthew Hawkwood series. Hawkwood is a Bow Street Runner in 19th century London. Hawkwood is investigating a 'resurrection men' gang, bodysnatchers who sell dead bodies to medical schools, but his investigation is interrupted by an escape from Bedlam asylum in which a priest is killed. The cases converge... Excellent read, tho the scene where a surgeon demonstrates how to remove a bladder stone is quite off-putting...

Ever get around to "The Forever War"? it is one that you won't put down. Belgian comic book artist Marvano did a graphic novel of The Forever War. Haldeman collaborated and must have enjoyed the experience so much the two went on to create a folluw up and an entirely new series called Dallas Barr. The Forever War comic is really good. A very strong anti-war theme without being anti-military is translated well into breathtaking drawings.

Yeah, I heard very good things about and was looking into getting a copy of volume 1 of amazon 5-6 months ago, but I wasn't sure about laying out $30 to $50 for a used copy.

Doing it now! Feels a little bit Starship Trooper'y... Yeh. Just started on it myself and got the same vibe. Apparently, it was written as a response to 'Starship troopers'.

Im reading Graham Mastertons Ghost Music, decent read so far Only novel I've read by him was called "Mirror". It was okay. - - - Updated - - - Will look into it today, though I have my hands full now. Definitely worth your while IMO. I really enjoyed this series and the whole story/concept. And have shamelessly pimped his works around other forums and people I know who like a bit of SF/PA stuff. I don't dip into too many new authors these days (last one was Charles Stross, who I also really enjoy), but I felt properly rewarded for taking a chance on this guy and his work. As an aside, he really encourages not only fan fiction, but also self published Kindle novels based on his work/universe....he seems like a really top guy.

Wild Cards edited by George R Martin Read it, it's alright. He stole the invention of the jet engine from us to the US... Re-reading The Wind up Girl by Paulo Bacigalupi, set in a distopian future in Thailand. An American corporate undercover agent looking for a lost seed bank (genetic re-engineered food plants have mutated beyond control and no natural food plants have escaped contamination) to 'harvest' is distracted by the title character, a Japanese genetically engineered New Person abandoned in Thailand and surviving as a sex toy, set against political upheaval in Thailand. Excellent book, read!
