Such a fantastic story.  I read the entire trilogy back-to-back (during May 2016), and thoroughly enjoyed it. There have been times when I've done this with other trilogies or series and sometimes this would produced a story fatigue. I'm sure you know what I'm talking about this is where reading starts to become a chore, and you end up ploughing through just wanting to see how it all wraps up. Or alternatively you need to put it down for a while, which means you may not pick it up for some time. Not with this story. It was compelling and Stephen changed point of view enough to keep it fresh and had you wanting to read more.

Here are some articles I've been reading and thinking about this week. There is an article on writing short stories, the reason to read lots of books, a few articles about changes to social media and come points to think about before posting on social media. There is also an update on NASA's latest rocket engine which may get us to Mars. Speaking about short stories, add my latest post Unfinished Tales | Shadow Worlds | Part One to your reading this weekend. So when you have some time to relax and read enjoy the following articles with your favourite beverage.

Is Star Trek warping real science? Speaking of Star Trek where are all the aliens? Have they slept in? Maybe they need a watch.

A robot western, what's not to like about that? There is only one human in this book and they get killed off pretty quickly. The rest of the story revolves around a post apocolyptic world inhabited only by robots. Our hero 'Brittle' survives by travelling the desert wastes looking for parts she can use to recycle and trade. Soon she finds she is being hunted, and as the story unfolds we discover why humanity is gone and how the mega-computer rose to power.
