As it comes to an end / and we start again!
For those of you who's happiness depends on an intimate knowledge of my current reading, I've foregone The Shiva Option in favor of one its prequels, Crusader. Shiva wasn't that great, to be honest, at least the parts that didn't involve large scale, deep space combat. It's ironic, then, that Crusader is so much better written, since it's by the same two people, written 10 years ago. Weirdness.
