Here? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] h54@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Yes, this book is the start of the Xeelee sequence I've read through vacuum diagrams and have thoroughly enjoyed it. He has a bunch of other standalone books that are great. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] exocortex@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I didn't know it was part of a series. Now I'll have to buy a few more books :-) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] h54@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago Baxter is a master. Ring is considered his magnus opus. permalink fedilink source parent [–] taaz@biglemmowski.win 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I've read the Long Earth which is co-authored with Terry Pratchett and loved it. Haven't had the chance to read his solo works though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Deebster@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago That's a six book series, if I remember rightly. I love Pratchett's stuff (Men at Arms is next on my Discworld reread) but I was thinking of his solo stuff. Normally I just start at the first published if I think I'll enjoy the whole lot. permalink fedilink source parent
