This will come as a shock to those closest to me.......and particularly to dg76......but I have been reading my @ss off for the last little while. Due to my limited internet access over the last few months, I decided to take a try at reading a book. Someone recommended to me a book called "Hominids" by Ontario author Robert Sawyer. It was the exact type of science fiction that fascinates me....a story about parallel universes. The book was absolutely gripping; so, once I had finished it, I read two others he wrote that formed a trilogy with the first. The trilogy is called Neanderthal Parallax. Once I finished that, then I decided to read everything else the local library has from that author, and proceeded to do so. I ended up reading:
The Quintaglio Ascension trilogy:
• Far-Seer
• Fossil Hunter
• Foreigner
Factoring Humanity
The Neanderthal Parallax trilogy:
• Hominids
• Humans
• Hybrids
Mindscan
Rollback
Flashforward
....all by Robert Sawyer. Although he did infuse most of his books with a troublesome left-wing political perspective, I still enjoyed every book thoroughly. He often includes scenes from various parts of North York; so, it was all the more interesting to read about characters strolling past places that I have frequented. I highly recommend Sawyer to sci-fi fans.
