I am back feeling just about better! I've added some posts which were outstanding from last week (below somewhere) and hope to catch up with a few further articles today.
In the meantime I've finally finished Redemption Ark which was a bit different to the Sci-Fi I normally read but still good none the less. Its a large space opera which can sometimes meander here and there but generally hits the mark as it describes characters that seem to have appeared in previous Reynolds novels (but as I haven't read them I'm not sure). Its main focus is really on human relationships which considerig the setting is quite interesting. While I may sound a little sceptical about the book it has made me buy some other Books by Alastair Reynolds and I would recommend it but I think it would be better to read one of the earlier books like Revelation Space
first.
