Cosmonaut Keep and Dark Light - Ken MacLeod

These are great! It is space science fiction at a grand scale, in a very different future.  It explores the implications of faster than light space travel both practical, political and philosophical. There’s a lot of thinking and debating in these books but lots of suspense and action too.

I still have to read the third on in this series and it is high on my list!

The Star Fraction, The Stone Canal & The Cassini Division - Ken MacLeod

I really enjoyed these books.

I had read the Star Fraction a while back and somehow i didnt care for it all that much. But i re-read it over Christmas (after reading the books above) and I loved it.

It is such a clever world, and I love the way political thought and philosophical ideas are used as plot elements.

The others are in the same vein and are worth picking up if you like science fiction.
I have one more book to read in this series and it is on my shelf waiting for the time to read it
