So, I just read Moonseed by Stephen Baxter, basically a random pickup after having gone to the library for something else I didn't find. I was pleasantly surprised and thought it compared quite well to, say, Lucifer's Hammer in a lot of ways... lots of people dying rather calmly in huge geological events.

I seem to have this affinity for the Earth getting destroyed, especially the sentence "The planet rang like a bell", which also appears in Earth by David Brin. Ahhhh, destruction. :cool:

Anyway, I liked Baxter. What should I read after Moonseed (and why?).

...for your post on the October Reads thread on October 2, which addressed this very question FOUR WEEKS BEFORE I THOUGHT TO ASK IT, my god you're good. :rolleyes:

Someone kindly pointed this out to me in a private message.

Now, nobody really went into a lot of detail about Baxter, and if anyone does want to carry this discussion any further this seems like a great place (since, after all, I remain unsure what to read after Moonseed), but if nobody has anything to add, I guess I'll consider my question answered.

...And thank you for the 'Thank you', lemming. it's nice to know the psychic vibes are still working.... :)

Let us know on the Forum which you pick!

lemming,
Sorry I can't help you with Baxter but I asked the same question myself a month ago. You have helped me though :) you have endorsed Hobbit's suggestion that Moonseed might be worth reading.
