I like the Sawyer books. Rob never lets characterisation stand between him and a really pacy plot, some dodgy science and the end of the book.

Was it his first book? Because the POV is a bit dodgy to start with, but then it smoothed out (or I stopped noticing)

Nope, it was about his tenth book. I really liked his Far-Seer trilogy (Dinosaurs! With telecopes!), but some of his other stuff hasn't worked for me. It's worth knowing that he used to be a science journalist, before he started writing fiction, and that might be why he forgets to put characterisation in sometimes.

Dinosaurs! With telescopes! HEE!

The series is called the Quintaglio Ascension.

You're reading "Coming of Age." You just made my morning. /g/

Quality alone time? Is that your nice way of saying you-know-what? Your answer will impact on my poll answers. (I'm not afraid to change them!)

I was trying to spare people's Delicate Sensibilites.

Hello, please excuse me for barging in. I just saw that you have an absolutely great Life on Mars icon of Sam and Gene, and I wanted to know if you made it and if it's shareable. Thanks.

I'm fairly sure it's a shareable one from the [livejournal.com profile] lifein1973 community. I'm embarrassed to admit I don't really remember, I just had to check with my friends to make sure someone didn't make it for me...

Oh, okay! I'll search that comm on my own time and try to find the maker. Thanks so much for getting back to me.

It was months and months ago. I had a quick look myself but I'm currently shaped and the dl speed is killing me.
