We are now living the civilization he portrayed in those books.<br />Retrieval Artist sounds good. I have Gun, With occasional Music and found it difficult to get into. But will try again.vallerosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00823261062528849703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-56330533152100342742010-05-09T10:01:04.581-07:002010-05-09T10:01:04.581-07:00For the newer things, the Retrival Artist novels a...For the newer things, the Retrival Artist novels are my favorite, they are really good. Too bad Roc isn't keeping them in print! They're getting hard and expensive to find, or at least a couple of them are. Anyone who wants to read them - and you should - would be well advised to get copies of the set as quickly as possible.<br /><br />Of the older books, the Asimov Robot novels are the standout.Richard R.http://brokenbullhorn.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-84129150438072756572010-05-06T10:46:09.001-07:002010-05-06T10:46:09.001-07:00Thanks for the info on Altered Carbon.

Also, for a modern urban fantasy detective, I might suggest Child of Fire by Harry Connolly. Not only a great read, but a fun guy to talk to (I just interviewed him not too long ago). The sequel is coming out soon, too!Laurence MacNaughtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183421490081237798noreply@blogger.com
