The Sky Road

by Ken Mcleod

The Sky Road is the fourth volume in the Fall Revolution Series by Ken Mcleod.

Okay, people do not age and just about everybody has turn...

by Ken Mcleod

The Star Fraction is a science fiction novel by Ken Mcleod.

This is the first book by MacLeod that I've read but certainly not the last, not just because I've already bought The Stone Canal and The Cassini Diversion, but because MacLeod is a damn good writer. I mostly picked up these books on the advice of the good people of alt.books.iain-banks and the similarity to Banks is hard to deny.
