I've recently found myself referring to anyone with very fair hair, especially that weird dyed-grey look that many 18-19 year olds seem to be going for lately, as 'Andorians'. I've come to the conclusion that this may be a bad trait I've developed.
I would like to read a David Mack book where nobody dies. The body count in The Body Electric was almost a self-parody.
It's not a book, but as far as I can remember nobody died in the NF: No Limits short story Waiting for G'Doh, or, How I Learned to Stop Moving and Hate People.
