I haven't read it, but I'm sure some of the other members have. I've heard a lot of mention about this book. Might have to put it on my to-read list.
I always like to read the book before I watch a film or series. I may just need to read it before November.



One that is a love/hate is Eon although the subsequent books are less appealing.
Not enough space to go into the Dune Universe !

Hmm.. I'm not sure if there's a prequel or not, but I think I might be interested. Please do let us know if you heard something more about it, will you Rick?

Thank you!

Just under 30 years ago I could not put this book down in the evenings as I was travelling in NW US.
The sequels did not however live up to the initial billing.

Given this understanding, I'm a fan of Soft SF all the way. The story and characters are king.....

Cindy it does not actually get deleted unless you delete it yourself. It just does not show up in the folder. Where you see
Showing 5 of 5 topics — 780 comments total then you can click on that and see all topics in a specific folder. Sometimes it will be like Showing 5 of 11 topics It just depends on how many topics you have in a particular folder. Those that don't get viewed or posted in will just not show up until someone makes a post there.


This sounds pretty accurate.:) Thank you, Jordan!

It all starts with this book:
Aurora: CV-01
P.S.: If you are (like me) one of those that opts for the audiobook version, you would love to know that the narrator is absolutely amazing. You can find more info here at Goodreads and at frontierssaga.com


Thanks :-)
I forgot to say that It's kinda of a mix between Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica (but without the Cylons).
Let me know if you liked it. Cheers.
