4 Day Weekend posted:Galactic North was awesome, especially Glacial, Spy in Europa and Galactic North. I hated Diamond Dogs, but that was because I found it fairly profoundly disturbing. Turquoise Days was dull, but at least it wasn't quite so hosed up. Satone posted:I really liked the whole Rev Space Universe, but your right, Absolution Gap sucked. If there's someone out there reading the series right now, waiting to get to A.G., here's the best advice anyone can give you: don't. Skip the book. Don't buy it, don't touch it, don't look it up on Amazon, don't DO A GODDAMN THING WITH IT. Its a terrible ending that will cloud you judgement of the series. Following this up; if you want to end the series, read Galactic North (the story) instead. And if you insist on reading Absolution Gap, read Galactic North first. It was written first, and it will make the pain easier. (EDIT: And introduces some of the same future as Absolution Gap in a less blindsidingly 'What the gently caress' kind of way. I really think you were meant to read it first) MikeJF fucked around with this message at 12:02 on Sep 1, 2009 |

Aussie Crawl posted:What the hell is it about Sci-Fi authors and feeling the need to broadcast their sexual hang-ups in print? Oh jesus. The Rama sequels win everything in this category.

It should be noted that Pandora's Star/Judas Unchained feature, in my opinion, his best writing and worldbuilding, and avoid the worse excesses of both the Confederation and the Void trilogies.

Doniazade posted:Pushing Ice is a very close second though. I'd recommend it as a first book if you like harder SF. Really? I thought Pushing Ice was his weakest book. It just felt... pointless and aimless.
