Speaking of enjoyable SF, the best I've read recently is The Ghost Brigades by John Scalzi. I liked Old Mans War (to which it is a sequel) but The Ghost Brigades is a startlingly good follow up into a differnet league. Unfortunately the third book, The Last Colony, doesn't keep it up. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
