- nils-m-holm 7y agoThere is a lot of CS hidden in the Fall Revolution series, too: The Star Fraction, The Cassini Division, The Stone Canal, and The Sky Road. All of them worth reading and reading again! I am also quite surprised that MacLeod does not get much more attention! Such a brilliant author! Want to read about a character hacking itself out of a virtual reality? An assault rifle with a built-in AI that refuses to kill? MacLeod has lots of surprising ideas and knows how to tell a convincing story. Not affiliated, just a fan! :)
- blacksmith_tb 7y agoAbsolutely, I was thinking about the Fast Folk from those books too (some readers here may like those more - or less - as they're more space-opera-esque, while Restoration Game is a sort of hybrid spy/SF novel).
