I picked them up cheap recently second hand. "Um" While I think it started well, the series... descends, I guess, in my estimation. By the time you get to Aura, I'm wincing (Redeption Ark...well...frankly you could see a lot of it coming). I really like the short story Diamond Dogs and some of the Galactic North collection more than the longer books in the universe - this is something which is consistant with me, though, I like the short _A Second Chance at Eden_ more than the _Nights Dawn_ trilogy, for example. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
