Thanks again fellow SA-ers
@ MrG - I do like Star Wars...as a whole. The novels were....all over the place. There are some i'd like to read yet, but i always lack the enthusiasm to go out and buy them. And i guess SW is more Science Fantasy then real Science Fiction I wanted to try out some REAL (TM) Sci Fi for a change.
As to Peter Watts...yes, i hear good things about him, not only from you all. But...i tried some of his writing on his own page...not sure i am a fan. Some is first person-ish, and i really can't get into that.
I read started some of the books...i am always reading around 100-200 pages into it to see if it is "my thing" ... and i have to say, both, Hamilton and Reynolds, do really well so far. So it seems there is hope yet for my "Sci Fi career"
