Oh, check out Dan Simmons: Hyperion, The Fall of Hyperion, Endymion and The Rise of Endymion clicky. I may take the 2nd tome with me (Endymion & The Rise of Endymion). It's about the size of a small house though. It's a 4 book series split into 2 sections really, they're huuuuugggeee... Very different, very involved, very interesting books. Edit: In other news, Bratty made a funny.

HTC Desire ordered, hopefully in stock before the end of next week, so I should have it come graduation day Hopefully I'll also be getting decent signal with it as I'm changing networks (and will have every mobile OS (well.... ipod instead of iphone) running at the same time, so I can't be a fanboy ) _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Nah Android replacing Windows Mobile Tried the iPhone 4 in an Orange store, really didn't get on with it, forgot how bad the Apple keyboard is compared to something like Swype which I can get on Android now I have 2 iPods, one for the car (80gb classic) and another for music on the move and the apps (iPod Touch 3g 32gb) 80GB is filled up almost, just put what I am listening to at the time on the Touch, though my phone sometimes acts as a music player on the go for radio or the odd podcast _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

EU in space, I don't think so. However, politics is covered along with; religion/spirituality, romance/sex, slavery, crime, military (land and space) and economics etc. My personal view of the science in the Night's Dawn trilogy is positive, it's not proper hard sci-fi as FTL is present (and has to be to cover the size of the Confederation) but there is plenty of Delta V, Lagrange and orbital mechanics stuff in there alongside the artistic licence stuff like Zero-Tau. I don't think you would be disappointed. Robinson is proper science though.  I've not read Reynold yet, I'll keep an eye out next time I'm after a good book.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Ah, no it was Ken MacLeod who's a friend of IMB. Absolute tosh premise, gave it 12 pages and dumped it. I'll have a look through Hamilton's stuff. I've not read him yet either. After mentioning Dan Simmons though I've decided to take the first tome (Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion) with me. I did start the second lot but for the life of me I can't remember where I was so I'm starting from scratch again. It's also made me want to dig out the Foundation trilogy as well. Genius piece of work by Asimov IMO.
