How old is he? It's far darker than the Foundation series. Philip K. Dick suffered from sporadic attacks of mental illness. He lived in California, I think San Francisco, and he had little respect for the government. I would not give it to my own kids just yet, but they are much younger.

Penni, I just returned from my mechanic's mechano place of bizness. While I was there, I was trying to remember, just for your benefit, who he, Ed the Mechanic, looks like; or who looks exactly like him. Iffn you ever come here, I should take you to meet Ed. Oh. I suppose Ed is not an exciting name. But I think, I'm wild guessing, Penni would find Ed's name the least interesting thing about him.

(Jeez. Where did I learn this female goopola?)

Can I say Ed is "cute"?

I mean, suppose I was invaded by sponge-head organisms.

Ed looks like (sponging away), a young, virile, healthy, Keifer Sutherland. I don't know if that's good or not, being as I don't know who's good looking to any one of "you"; and I know Keifer's old news, but just suppose this was before that. This guy is intelligent, shining, and funny. And a volunteer fireman. And this unexpected "impersonation" or resemblance reminded me you like to meet these repair ~ ahem ~ hunks. This one's a bouyant, responsive, squeally muffin. Hon.

Sis.

[Matter of fact, the U.P.S. guy was just here, and town is just a wedged bouquet of visual opportunities.]

I will return to normal broadcasting, if I have not been provincially damaged.

Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle: Footfall; The Mote in God's Eye
Greg Bear: Blood Music; The Forge of God (latter scary but intense)
David Brin: Earth
Penni, have you read any Lois McMaster Bujold? I very highly recommend Shards of Honor and the following novels in the Barrayar saga. That gal can WRITE.
