Some sci-fi goodness

John Clute's essay on Peter Hamilton's new book, his take on space opera and the experience of reading space opera and very large fantasy novels is well worth a read.

Sandstorm reviews gives the new Richard Morgan fantasy novel high marks. I saw somewhere else that this book would shake up the typical fantasy reader. Maybe it is the gay characters? Not a lot of those in fantasy novels. Anyway, this one is now on my must read list. It must wait behind the massive Reaper's Gale, next on my giant fantasy book reading list.
