JUST FINISHED READING Toby Buckell’s The Apocalypse Ocean. A very worthy followup to Crystal Rain, Ragamuffin and Sly Mongoose, all of which I very much enjoyed.

An interesting thing is that the writing of this book was funded by a Kickstarter project. I think we’ll see a lot more of that sort of thing, particularly from writers, like Buckell, with established fan bases.

I read it, by the way, on my new Kindle Paperwhite. The display is considerably sharper and clearer than the already-good display on my previous-generation Kindle, and the backlight is very nice and addresses one of the major shortcomings of previous models.
