re: #138 William Barnett-Lewis
Yes, Downbelow Station is in the seriously good stuff list.
Hmm. Done any Orson Scott Card? He tends to be either a love him or hate him author but “Speaker for the Dead” needs to be read by everyone. The Prequel, “Ender’s Game” will be a movie soon, but I think Speaker is the better, harder, story.
The third book is right out.
