Hi Guys,
I've just finished reading "The Forge of God" by Greg Bear"... great read!
It reminded me of Pournelle's "Footfall." ?
Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I always like the Man-Kzin Wars series, but as I read a friend's set I dont have my own and its hard to find the early books nowadays. Still, a good read with lots of moderately 'hard' sci-fi

Talking about Slammers, has anyone seen the "Game rules" or the "Hand Book" That came out of the Club in the UK?

It's not the Mice that scare me so much as Steuben himself.

Nice one Maksim, have you read any of his other books?
Hard SF at its very best in my opinion- Eon is a work of genius. 
I have Darwin's Radio and Vitals ready to read when I find the time too.
I finished Fatherland a few days ago- my my, what a fantastic novel.
Grim and gripping to the very end- Harris realises his 'what if' societey so well, it is almost a historical novel. Top stuff, highly reccomended.

Hi StormSeer,
*** StormSeer: Nice one Maksim, have you read any of his other books? *** |
Yes... several others. Liked them all. Bear is a real scientist and turns out great hard sci-fi.

I haven't read "Eon" yet.
StormSeer: I have Darwin's Radio and Vitals ready to read when I find the time too.
I haven't read "Vitals" either, but I have read both "Darwin's Radio" and the sequel and both were rivetting reads.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
