"Pandora" & "Danger"
Just read your review for Peter Hamilton's "Pandora's Star"(which I already have) and you mentioned one of the developments that the author didn't go into detail was the rejuvenation technique. Thoght you ahould know that this was the subject of an earlier novel called "Misspent Youth". It concerns the very first person to undergo this process. He also happens to be the developer of the Datasphere(another development mentioned in "Star"),the replacement for the current Internet. The book may be hard to find; it hasn't been aquired by a domestic publisher. The copy I found was an import only book judging from the cover. I bought in at the University Bookstore in Seattle a year ago. I also read Liz Moon's "Trading in Danger" and have gotten more than halfway through with "Marque and Reprisal". From what I can see up to now, the story- line really has kicked into gear. Since you haven't reviewed it yet I will only say that begins with an opening chapter that is as shocking as the first 10 minuites of the opening episode of this season's 24 (and if you happened to catch it you know what I'm talking about). I really need to get back to Hamilton's and Moon's books straighaway. Just wanted to let you know. |

Re: "Pandora" & "Danger"
Noticed that this thread is going down and thought I should bring it back up...have you found and read "Misspent Youth" yet? I know you're busy w/other books(heck, you still haven't posted your reviews for THIS month yet)but I would really like to know. |

Re: "Pandora" & "Danger"
Not yet. Naturally if I had done, the review would be up. May turned out to be a real FUBAR month for me in terms of being able to keep up my reading schedule. Too many unwelcome intrusions of a personal nature, which with all luck will be gone from my life starting now. Four new reviews to go up June 1, and I'll hopefully be back to the regular grind again. |

Re: "Pandora" & "Danger"
I just buzzed DelRey's website and discovered that "Misspent Youth" will be released in September in hardcover. I suspect you'll probably get an ARC at least a couple of months before the rest of the country. |

Re: "Pandora" & "Danger"
I'd be psyched to read Hamilton's "Misspent Youth." I'd also like to hear why does "The Dreaming Void" suck so bad??

Re: "Pandora" & "Danger"
I didn't think it sucked. Didn't offer much that PFH hasn't already done, perhaps, but a decent read for fans nonetheless. |
