Popped into Waterstones this lunchtime and was confronted by a display of Gollancz's new 10 Space Opera Titles, resplendent in their cut paper-themed jackets. I haven't read any of them - in fact, it's been ages since I read any science fiction, so I reckon I'll invest in one. Which, though? Any recommendations?
Here's the list:
Century Rain by Alastair Reynolds
The Centauri Device by M John Harrison
Tau Zero by Poul Anderson
Eon by Greg Bear
Ringworld by Larry Niven
Stone by Adam Roberts
Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C Clarke
Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon
Ilium by Dan Simmons
Eternal Light by Paul McAuley
The Niven, Bear and Clarke ones are the only ones I've heard of.
