Really I pick books mostly at random to read. Although if I look over books that I read I tend to read authors back to back or at least relatively close and rather odd if I was really trying to read books randomly. Oh well this book took a while to get into. Perhaps that is one reason I read authors together as you get into their mindset and thus it is easier to get into the books faster. Of the sci-fi I have read recently this one and the Larry Niven/Brenda Cooper, Building Harlequin's Moon (which probably wasn't recent but I remember it rather well...) It is interesting to wonder how much Larry actually writes in all of these books that he co-authors. Of all the sci-fi writers he has certainly had a slew of books that he co-authors. I wonder how that works? Interesting to go to a book signing with co-authors and ask how one writes a book with two heads? All in all I love the "Known Space" universe. This one goes in a bit more detail on the puppeteers. Interesting concept. Kind of shocking with the creation of a slave group to farm for them. First time I was actually a little shocked about the ramifications of a storyline when reading a sci-fi book. Oh and guess what there is a sequel so I am sure there will be another post..
