Location: USA		Certainly has gotten quiet around here. (Like I should talk!)

Finished Emergence by Cherryh and thoroughly enjoyed it, which should come as no real surprise. As always, I'm anxious to see where the story goes from here. It's been a hell of a trip so far!

Followed that up with Heir to Empire by Timothy Zahn. Well written and quite entertaining. Not sure I'll be diving into the vast array of Star Wars novels out there, but I will eventually read the other two in his trilogy. I'll also be checking out more of his other work. His writing style and attention to detail appeals to me.

Next up is The Black Cloud by Fred Hoyle. One of the consequences of being in groups like this one is that people will sometimes mention books I recall reading long ago. This led me to rediscover Andre Norton a couple of years ago. The Black Cloud is one I remember picking up in my home town library when I was in my early teens. I remember the title and recall being fascinated by it - and that's about it. Some of these old books from memory have held up well, others - not so much. We'll soon see how this one does.
