There are only 2 authors the books of whom I will preorder at the first glimmering hint, then hoard in perfect hardback glory for all eternity. Iain M. Banks is one, I attribute this wholly to having read Excessions first, at the age of 15. It blew my mind wide open and I have all the M books in hardback, cause I'm a obsessive idiot and you've got to spend your money somewhere, right? I liked the idea of against a dark background alluding to so many different things. My favourite was that the closest star was a million lightyears away. I liked the departure from the culture with the Algebraist, particularly how in 1 paragraph you are introduced to the Archmandrite Luciferous the third and have the depth of his insane cruelty laid open for you. What are we due next? I haven't looked for any rumours recently. Ship names - I blame my mother I blame your mother
