Finally read this - it was a birthday gift from my aunt that's been stacked next to my bed for ages. And I was looking at it thinking yet another space opera, and just generally underestimating my aunt. Because it is really good. There's no humanity left on earth, a terraformed nightmare planet, a crazy techwitch in a pod. And a bunch of humans floating endlessly in a ship. So there's plenty of clues there as to how it pans out, but it's done in a very clever and well-written way. It raised interesting issues in a not-too-annoying fashion and was still fairly gripping right up to the end. Definitely a good holiday read - I have a copy you can borrow, but I believeashlyme wanted first dibs.

It's not fair - Adrian holds down a day job as a lawyer, has a disabled child, puts out a doorstop sized book every year and every single one of them is good. He read from Dogs of War at Fringe and that sounds awesome as well.
