New SciFi!


Eee Amazon just informed me there’s a new book out by one of my all-time favourite authors!  (Thanks for nothing bookstore I work at.)  It’s called The Children of the Sky by Vernor Vinge, and it’s a sequel to A Fire Upon the Deep.  

Guess it was just released today so hopefully I will be able to stare at it longingly at work soon until I can afford to buy it on Amazon, as Amazon is still cheaper even with my 35% discount.  Honestly, I don’t remember all the much about the details of A Fire Upon the Deep, other than that is was some awesome space opera.  But the prequel to A Fire Upon the Deep, A Deepness in the Sky, is probably the best book that was ever written (in my expert opinion).  It even made me love a race of beings referred to as spiders.  Trust me, there’s got to be some seriously expert character-building by Vinge to make that happen.
