+ | * [[wp>The Expert System's Champion]] by [[wp>Adrian Tchaikovsky]] - I was happy to read more of the original story, but didn't enjoy this one as much, story kinda petered out. | ||

+ | * [[wp>Transcendent_(novel)|Transcendent]] by [[wp>Stephen Baxter]] - Third in the trilogy, enjoying this one slighty more so far than the second. Finished: Ugh, this was okay, I wish I hadn't bothered with the whole trilogy. He didn't really explore the FTL casuality ideas that I was interested in, and the whole thing was pretty uninteresting. Shame, I had high hopes. It took me a long time to get through. | ||
+ | ==== June ==== | ||
+ | * [[wp>Exultant (novel)|Exultant]] by [[wp>Stephen Baxter]] - I'm finding this pretty difficult to read, quite slow. I'm a big fan of some of Baxter's other work, so will slog through and finish this trilogy in the hopes that it pays off. | ||

* [[wp>The Peripheral]] by [[wp>William Gibson]] - This had a really unique and interesting premise. I found it a tad confusing at times though. The dialogue annoyed me a little, but it (the dialogue) was well written I thought - natural, Tarantino-like. I heard they're making a live action TV series on Amazon Prime, will be interesting to see. I want to read some more Gibson. | * [[wp>The Peripheral]] by [[wp>William Gibson]] - This had a really unique and interesting premise. I found it a tad confusing at times though.
