Still drowning in work here, but I have managed to crank out a book review that I have been working on. This one is for the latest Alastair Reynolds novel, Blue Remembered Earth. There’s doubtless a lot to be written at some point comparing all of the near-future, colonize-the-solar-system books that are being written these days. For now, however, I just want to note that there are some writers who start off very successful and crank out the same thing time and again until people get bored, and there are some who start off very successful and keep trying to stretch themselves and grow. Reynolds is definitely in the later category, and I think he manages it without overly upsetting his core readership. You can read the review here.
