Donate the warp core to a Ferengi charity?

I for one would welcome the shuttering of US miltary bases in Europe and around the world. Bring it on.

On display? I finally found them in the bottom of a locked filling cabinet in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying “Beware of the leopard”.

• Six books in the trilogy, if you include And Another Thing by Eoin Colfer (of Atemis Fowl fame)

There are some great suggestions here - I’m also adding to my reading list!

I almost exclusively read sci-fi, and my favourite author is Peter F. Hamilton. He has written some mind-bendingly good space opera, much of it spanning multiple novels.

His best work IMHO is a one-shot, standalone novel called Fallen Dragon. It’s got rampant uber-captialism, space marines, geurilla warfare on colony worlds, and aliens. And a very satisfying conclusion that I didn’t see coming.

I thought we’d seen the last of this turd when he resigned in disgrace. Now he puts on some crocodile tears and gets given a golden handout? Say what you like about Shanks’ style and delivery, he always researched his stories and brought receipts. Barilaro is scum.

Yes, while not as good as the OG, still a great read!

One of my top ten fave scifi novels. Niven and Pournelle’s best work.
