Just finished Space Vulture by Wolf & Myers - an homage to space opera and a tour-de-force. Way too much in there for everyone to even begin describing it; an essentially simple tale of good versus evil, but so jam-packed with SF iconography that its like taking a guided tour through every SF novel ever written.

Fleet of Worlds was polished off right at the beginning of the month; if you like Niven/Known Space, its a must.

Am now working through RAH's Revolt in 2100 for research and will be doing the same with Moon is a Harsh Mistress when that's done.
