I finally got around to going out to Waterstones to spend the book tokens Marsali got me for my birthday. Couldn’t help myself, and ended up going for Peter F Hamiltons A Quantum Murder and Iain M Banks Use of Weapons.
I’m a huge fan of Peter Hamiltons science fiction work, having read all of the Commonwealth Saga and the Nights Dawn Trilogy. I’ve never read any of his Greg Mandel work, but this should be a first (even though it’s the second book in the series). In all honesty, I’ll probably end up getting the first before I read this. Banks’ Use of Weapons also interests me, as I enjoyed another Culture novel, . So wildly different, so here’s hoping Use of Weapons will be good.
I’m also pretty excited about the 2007 release of the next Peter F Hamilton book, The Dreaming Void, part of the The Void Trilogy. It’s a continuation of sorts of the Commonwealth Saga, with the first book due out in January 2007 according to his blog. Here’s hoping I finish The Cloudspotter’s Guide, Cosmic Trilogy, and all the others before the release… (I tend to read books in the order that I get them) 🙂
