Working my way through "Assaassin's Quest" by Robin Hobb. I had to stop for a while after Royal Assassin, the ending of that novel really hurt. Not quite as tragic as "Wizard and Glass", but pretty close. A great series.

Same here! Except the ending of Royal Assassin helped to propel me towards Assassin's Quest, excellent ending (to RA, that is!)duke wrote:Working my way through "Assaassin's Quest" by Robin Hobb.

Always wanted to infuse myself with a bunch of this chaps writing since I've always heard about him and am generally enjoying the book.

Great Sky River, by Dr. Gregory Benford.

Ah, a great writer and co-author of one of my favorite books, Heart of the Comet, with Dr. David Brin. Please tell me how it goes, I need a new read, badly (I'm starting to wind down to Jay's pace-started Outlander in June and am not even to pg. 200 yet 
)!

The novel is preceded by two books - In the Ocean of Night and Across the Sea of Suns. There are three more books in the series. The Galactic Centre series deals with humanity trying to survive a universe where machines destroy all life reaching interstellar travel. While the idea is nothing new, Benford delivers some amazing ideas. The EMs in the second book are an original alien species, and fantastic as well. He introduces a very different human society in the third book, which is set 100,000 years after the second.danlo wrote:Ah, a great writer and co-author of one of my favorite books, Heart of the Comet, with Dr. David Brin.

The Briar King by Greg Keyes. It's okay so far. Flipped me out at first, tho. There's a prelude, then a prologue, and *then* the main story starts. 
But the thing that flipped me out was in the prelude -- the Born Queen is named Virginia Dare and the allied tribe is the Croatani. Well, Croatan is a tribal name in North Carolina, and Virginia Dare was the first baby born to English settlers in the New World -- in the Lost Colony in North Carolina. Unclear whether he's just "liberated" the names, or transported the whole Lost Colony to an alternate universe, or what.

A bit on a dare with Mark Charan Newton, I decided to give tie-in fiction a shot by reading the first chapter of The Horus Heresy sequence set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. And I have to say that I'm very impressed by Dan Abnett's intelligent and entertaining Horus Rising.
Will definitely read the rest of the series!

I really enjoyed it, too. It was great to see Horus portrayed as a tragic figure, doomed to turn against the Emperor.pat5150 wrote:A bit on a dare with Mark Charan Newton, I decided to give tie-in fiction a shot by reading the first chapter of The Horus Heresy sequence set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
