    Ya, the revised version.

    I'd have started it properly but I started it pretty much straight after finishing Jingo and it was just too hard going after all that Pratchett! Tore a good chunk out of it last night (insomnia is great) and so far, it rox!



    All the best,

    Hehe. Yeah Magician is an all timer. The trilogy he did with Janny Wurts is excellent.

    Magician rocks but I got lost 14 books into the trilogy.

    Reading David Brins "Uplift" series, now on bk 2, "Infinity's Shore".

    Kind of a strange style to get the hang of, but quite enthralling (doh, I'm supposed to be doing my C++ proj.)

    well finally finished Do Androids Dream of Electronic Sheep, without startin yet another book...though i was tempted...now to finish Dune

    Does anyone know if the full stories of the Starwars Trilogy are in print, and I don't mean the books of the films. There is sooo much going on that the films don't show, such as:
    When Chubaca is picking up the pieces if C3P0 from the incinerator room in The Empire Strikes Back, you can see in the background lying up against a wall another android. This Android was seen earlier when Vader was briefing the Bounty Hunters. This Android Bounty Hunter also found Solo n co, and had a confrontation with Boba Fett, from which he obviously came out the worse.
    And there are alot more besides this, so I want to get the FULL story smile.gif

    Finished Lord of the Isles earlier during the week and am curently reading David Weber's On Basilisk Station - first of the Honour Harringtion books. LOTI was simply something to waste time with - kept me interested but wasnt great :dunno:

    So far On Baslisk Station has proved very enjoyable though it reminds me alot of David Feintuch's Seafort saga
