Hi dave and all, I'm currently reading a quite big Sci Fi book by Peter F Hamilton called Great North Road. It appealed to me because the on-earth bits of it are set on Tyneside in 2142. The inter-stella gateway is on what is currently the Team Valley Trading Estate and very near where the Primula Cheese spread factory I worked in in the 197-s. Otherwise it's quite a good crime thriller with sci fi knobs on. I've just finished the Dark Half, another Stephen King book which I discovered I hadn't read. This one is about a writer who created an alter-ego under a pseudonym as King did himself. Like much of his stuff which is about the creative process, i it proved to be very good.
