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!
