Being two months into a new business venture and having a wife expecting
twins within the next 6 weeks AND only moved house a few weeks ago, I've got
a whole half hour a week to spare on new Sci FI. :)

However I'm officially on pass #4 on my collection and would really dig some
new recommendations, preferably hard Sci-Fi or Space Operas.

Into the pot I can recommend anything by:
Azimov
Clarke
Larry Niven - Ringworld rocks
Harry Harrison
Greg Bear
Stephen Baxter
Alister Reynolds
Ian M Banks
Neil Stephenson, Snowcrash and Cryptonomicon particularly
William Gibson - 'nuff said

Obviously the above is just a quick braindump, there are more that I could
come up with if I thought about it...

And as long as it's not that dragon stuff, there are a load of *superb*
books by Peter F Hamilton, the Nights Dawn Trilogy is awesome

Anyone got anything to add please? Prefereably a good thick triliogy or ten

ta

;D
