Synthisis is Titan at its best. It was a really cool creative choice to unshackle the AIs from a humanoid form. It is a also shows nice character development for Torvig and Keru from where they started in the series.
So what are you reading? Part VI

Just finished up Omega. Terribly anticlimactic. Just started reading Old Man's War by John Scalzi. I can already tell I'm going to be up all night reading this one.
Old Man's War is the start an awesome trilogy. I liked the way they all named their brain pals and the notion of chlorophyll for skin. Each of those books has its own tone though, Ghost Brigades and the Last Colony tke the story in a direction you probably wont expect.
Have you read Zoe's Tale? I might just read all of these back to back if I like them a lot. I'm about to be on an extensive trip for work.
I have not read that one yet, but I am planning to read it soon. Zoe's Tale had yet to be published when I stumbled across the series.
1/3 through a reread of Best Destiny. I don't remember George Kirk being such an awful father. Also: Pirate captain says "fracking" on p127.
On Clarke's short stories, I just finished "Nemesis" (alternate title for "Exile of the Eons") last night on the way back from Target. I always vascillate on my preferred version of this theme, as it is essentially an expansion of "The Awakening". Both stories hold their own, but the added angle of Threvendor's exile brings a signifcant degree of irony to the storyline in "Nemesis" that "The Awakening" misses out on. At the same time, "Nemesis" gives a bit too much expository material that feels extraneous at times...
Anyway, onward...

The Firefly/Serenity quote was unexpected and great.
Wrapping up Spirit Walk, Book 2, Enemy of My Enemy. Then on to A Time to...

I'm closing in on the last 100ish pages of Dead Witch Walking, so I'm trying to decide what I want to read next. I'm thinking it's going to be either The Dresden Files #4: Summer Knight, Level 26, Star Wars: Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor or something else I'm not remembering.
Read this, read it now!
Seriously, I've not long finished it and I thought it was just mental, pure and simple and thus loved every single page of it. Hell, you even get a few POVs from:
Artoo!!!!
Oh and I'm almost finished with Ian Rankins Open Doors which would then mean I have read all of his novels over the last 18 months or so.
Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor was one of the few Star Wars books that have come out in the last couple of years I really enjoyed. It captures that old Star Wars feel that a lot of the current books seem to lack in my opinion.
Reading Typhon Pact: Rough Beasts Of Empire. Absolutely loving it so far, much better than the truly abysmal Seize The Fire.
