The Android\'s DreamThis started off rather slow, but built a really good head of steam and I ended up really enjoying and liking the main characters rather a lot.

The Cassini Division

The Cassini DivisionThird Fall Revolution novel is, for me, the best of the series so far. Following on from the events of the end of The Stone Canal we find ourselves back in the solar system, and at the beginning of the book, back on Earth.
Ellen May Ngwethu is a member of the Cassini Division, an elite (if such a thing can exist in the socialist anarchy of the Solar Union) force detailed with the task of controlling the threat posed by the post-human intelligences that stayed behind at Jupiter.
She's been tasked with finding the man that came up with the physics that allowed the creation of the wormhole, so that a way through to New Mars can be found in order to assess if there's any threat from the stored post-human intelligences that the Jay-Dub copy of Jon Wilde told them about.
A really enjoyable read with some excellent characters and SF ideas.
Highly recommended.
