If you like Fraser and thoughtful scifi, I recommend this sequel (start with part 1 if you're new). I admit I'm partial to this franchise as I'm mentioned (twice!) in part 1—but I promise I get nothing from it (other than pride)! 😀 A mind-bending ride w/complex ethical questions. @robertjsawyer.com

The joys of alphabetical order! Nice to be sandwiched between Katee Sackhoff and William Shatner on Dragon Con's "Featured Guests" page. Come see all three of us in Atlanta later this month!
