Yesyesyes. Greg Bear. And I remain very bullish on Lois McMaster Bujold. I think you would enjoy those greatly. LMcB has a wonderful style and a gift for characterization that is so rare in the SF genre. What else, hmmm? If CW liked "Dune", the prequels by Brian Herbert (Dune-House Atreides, Dune-House Harkonnen and Dune-House Corrino) were enjoyable. I just read Stephen Baxter's Manifold: Time and loved it. Some of his other books I really liked, e.g. Voyage, a what-if about a Mars mission using Apollo technology. But other books of his (to wit Titan with its unrelieved misanthropy) left me going, like, ewwww. Ben Bova. Mars. Mars Return. Cool. Eric Nylund, Signal to Noise. Scary. Ooh! Big score. Vernor Vinge. A Fire on the Deep. Richly textured, really cool aliens, and it's nce to see someone tackle a vision of ambitious scope and make it work. More as I discover'em. But you owe me a book report on Cordelia's Honor (LMcB), young lady.
