Those are good books. I'd say the ending was a bit cheesy, but he built the deus ex machina in from the beginning, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. PS: Peter Hamilton wrote them, in case anyone wants to look them up. |

The end was cheesy, but overall I really enjoyed the books. I especially liked the Edenists with their biotech.
Peter Hamilton has another series out that is near future involving a psionic detective. Those books read a lot like Shadowrun, except without trolls, elves, etc. As far as the wraith go, they do sound like mini horrors. At least in terms of what they do and how they do it. |

What's the name of that detective series? I'm getting desperately low on fresh reading material.
P.S. Sorry for contributing to topic drift, but this topic was doomed the minute dragon poop started flying. |

Falling. The instant the dragon poop started falling.
Although I suppose that depends on what the dragon was doing at the time... -Siege |

It never fails. You get your car washed, then along comes some flying lizard who wants to play poo-poo bombardier. |
