I thank you for your review. MacLeod's books will definitely be on my list. So will be Reynolds'. Your weblog review is quite comprehensive. Where do you publish it?
Anybody else care to join in with a recommendation?? Suggestions are welcome.

Who is reading more SciFi books than anything lately...
and IT'S ALL BRIN-L'S FAULT!! :p
On another (science-oriented) list, I am having a discussion with a professional geologist who, based on his remarks so far, apparently has not read much hard SF. I could use some suggestions of books which present realistic scenarios for terraforming Mars.

Total Recall?
Isn't the whole problem with Mars it's size and that it has no inner fire like the earth does? So true terra forming would be to mine the asteroids and send the empty hulks to crash on Mars, increasing it's size over a few hundred years.
I think Venus will be terra formed before Mars. The atmosphere will be seeded with bio agents that covert the poison gases to O2, N2, and water. If the temp is lowered the pressure will go down also.
Then at the bottom we find the aliens we just killed. And the distress beacon that seems to be an Ansible.
