My only gripe about the book is that it didn't really advance the story a lot, which does make me fear that the author is going to drag the story out over many books.
Next up on my reading list is "Spin" by Robert Charles Wilson.

Hi all.
I'm about to read 'Strike Force' by Dale Brown.
He is one of my favourite authors. Akin to Tom Clancy or Andy McNab.
But all his books lean towards Sci-Fi. Or should that be Spi-Fi...
As some of the equipment he uses, and aircraft are fantastic."What do you mean by 'Oopps'?"
Team Starfist protects all. But having a fully loaded P-90 helps...
Reality is an illusion... Created by those who cannot handle Stargate...!
Jankowski's Rules: Rule 1: Check your Six!
I'm not perfect. But parts of me are excellent I also cook...!
To thy own self... Be true
May the odds.... Be ever in your favour..!

I searched but could only find one mention of Kage Baker. I read a lot of Science and Speculative Fiction many years ago, but my tastes have changed. However, when I picked up a copy of "In the Garden of Iden", I was hooked. Her series on The Company are wonderful and well worth reading and rereading.
Any other fans out there?
In looking up this series, I have discovered that Kage Baker died last year.Calculus and Alcohol don't mix. Never drink and derive.

I'm now reading an anthology edited by Lou Anders called Masked. It includes stories by many writers.

Legion of the Damned is easily the worst military scifi book I've ever read. If you think you're going to read about kickass cyborgs based on what it says on the back of the book then you're sadly mistaken. The book really has little to do with them despite what the the blurb says.Last edited by Krichton; 10 April 2011, 09:53 AM.

Originally posted by Andron View PostGreat book, finished it last week. The concept of genetic engeneering is very interesting and very current. Many aspects discussed are already possible today and unfortunately there's no real control in place what scientist are allowed to do and what not. Great read!
