41. Dark Light (Engines Of Light: Book 2) By Ken Macleod
    Review of Dark Light, Engines Of Light Book 2, by ken macleod.

    Extractions: D ark Light' by Ken Macleod tells the story of the starship Bright Star's arrival on the Second Sphere - a planet founded by Gods and populated by kidnapped alien races. Skilfully mixing blockbuster adventure and thoughtful commentary, Ken Mcleod charts the impact that the first human light speed space craft has on the main city of the planet, Rawlinston. The opening paragraph is one to savour and the rest of the book delivers. The characters are well-rounded and believable. The Second Sphere is obviously a place where the men are men and women are feisty! There is also a subtle thread of humour throughout the book - which while not making me laugh on the bus did afford me a few wry smiles! There are enough plot twists and conundrums to keep me reading till two o'clock in the morning but not too much so that your brain gets dizzy. It is also a novel that lingers in your mind, that gives you something to ponder will making yourself a strong cup of coffee because you were up all night reading!

43. Engine City (Engines Of Light Book 3) By Ken MacLeod
    Book review of Engine City, Engines Of Light Book 3, by ken macleod.  
    http://www.computercrowsnest.com/sfnews2/03_jan/review0103_2.shtml
    
    Extractions: Check out website: www.orbitbooks.co.uk E ngine City' is the third book in Ken McLeod's series 'Engines of Light'. It details the story of three Earth cosmonauts who build the first human light-speed ship and travel to distant worlds and try to stop the gods (who are the consciousness of stars) from destroying civilisations like we would destroy a fly buzzing about our head. I have tried to write that last sentence about ten times and I still haven't told half of the plot intricacies. It is a huge plot contained within some tightly written, idea-packed prose. And it works. I think that I enjoyed this book so much because it is like real life (insomuch as a Science Fiction novel populated by alien spider-monkeys and ancient ancestors annoying their descendants can be). The story it tells is both large scale and sweeping and also small and detailed. You can read this book if you are interested in society and politics and the effects that individuals have on these institutions. Or you can read this book if you like the interplay between well-written and believable characters.

44. The Human Front By Ken MacLeod/A Writer’s Life By Eric Brown
    Book review of The Human Front by ken macleod.

ISBN: 0-575-07505-8. check out website: www.orionbooks.co.uk The Human Front: The world of Ken MacLeod's 'human front' seems rather dour and loveless at first sight. Brought up initially on the Scottish island of Lewis, our protagonist John Lewis has a normal childhood until he is witness to a very strange happening. His world is not ours. In this world, the Russians are fighting the Americans in the 1960s and there are frequent bombing raids. A curious anti-gravity bomber has been developed that is disc-shaped. When one crashes and John's doctor father is asked to treat the pilot, he is shocked by what he sees. Later, when John joins the 'Human Front' against he learns more about the continuing war but nothing can prepare him for what follows. Ken MacLeod's world reminded me of '1984' with its secrecy and continued propaganda for a war without end that may or may not be true.

ISBN: 0-84149-175-6 check out website: www.OrbitBooks.co.uk and www.TimesWarnerBooks.co.uk N ewton's Wake' is a stand-alone story, self-billed as a space opera. It opens with a team of 'combat archaeologists' exiting a gateway onto a distant world, Eurydice, with the intention of looting a vast and ancient monolith. The rather inexperienced leader, Lucinda Carlyle, leads them to disaster when machines within the monolith are roused and those of her party not killed by them are mostly finished off by the settlers who arrive in force. Carlyle is captured by the settlers, thanks in part to the treachery of her spacesuit which is run by a downloaded personality of a former human, and who takes this opportunity to escape her control. Using a personality in this way is regarded by the settlers as akin to slavery. Gradually, it is revealed that centuries before the very distant Earth had effectively been destroyed during the course of a major war between the US and a United Europe.

    Extractions: In the late 1990s, Ken MacLeod rapidly carved out a reputation for a highly politicised perspective on science fiction. His first four novels - The Star Fraction The Stone Canal The Cassini Division , and The Sky Road - writhe with political and technological opportunities and alternatives available to us in the 21st century and beyond. Known as The Fall Revolution , the books inform each other, but form a collective rather than a sequence - rarely sharing major characters and at times in active conflict with each other on what will happen in the next century or two. Though often considered in Britain to have a fairly left-wing stance, two of these books won the Prometheus Award for Libertarian Fiction - before their US publication. Almost as obvious as his knowledge of politics is the familiarity with Scotland in his books. MacLeod was born in the Hebrides and went to high school and university in south west Scotland. He subsequently spent over a decade in London before returning north in 1990 with his family to reside in Edinburgh. Though he moved to London for postgraduate study, he made the transition from scientist to computer programmer during his time there. The influence of this career is apparent in his work also, in his application of geek ideology and methodology as well as comprehension of the technology and its challenges.

    Extractions: Like a Britishspecifically, Scottishcounterpart of Bruce Sterling, Ken MacLeod is an SF author who has thought hard about politics and delights in making unlikely alternatives plausible, grippingly readable, and often downright funny. Cosmonaut Keep swaps between two timelines whose characters share the ultimate goal of interstellar travel. In an uncertain future on the far world of Mingulay, human colonists live in the title's ancient, alien-built Keepcoexisting with reptilian "saurs," trading with visiting ships piloted by krakens, and hiding their laborious "Great Work" of developing human-guided navigation between the stars. Meanwhile, alternate chapters present a mid-21st-century Earth whose EU is (to America's horror) Russian-dominated with a big red star in the middle of its flag. Rumors of alien contact abound, and computer whiz kid Matt Cairns finds himself carrying a data disk of unknown origin that offers antigravity and a space drive. Clearly, the later storyline's Gregor Cairns is Matt's descendant. There are ingenious connections and surprises, with witty resonances between their wild careers, their travels, and their bumpy love lives. The foreground action adventure points to a bigger picture and a master plan known only to the godlike hive-minds who built the "Second Sphere" of interstellar culture, and who regard traditional SF dreams of unlimited human expansion through space as precisely equivalent to floods of e-mail spam polluting the tranquil galactic net.

SF author Ken MacLeod has a theory that SF can be more illuminating about the time of its writing than about that of its imagined future. I n articles and interviews which I've ruthlessly recycled as talks at SF conventions, I've put forward a by no means original thesis that SF can be more illuminating about the time of its writing than about that of its imagined future. Good point, I thought, and stole it at once. It's about time I came up with another topic for SF convention talks. Especially as the next one I'm due to give is in Dublin, and too many people there might well have heard me rambling on about SF-as-contemporary-reference before. (Some of them may have read this by then. They can have fun seeing how much I've changed my mind in the meantime.) So, with space helmets on, brass bras brightly polished, and phasers set to stun, let's boldly go in search of SF that really is about the future, and whose contemporary reference is reduced to as close to a trace element as humanly possible.

    Extractions: By Andrew Leonard July 27, 1999 T he action has hardly begun in "The Cassini Division" when the characters start making jokes about Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. "Gold is such a useful metal," says one woman at a cocktail party in the 24th century. "You know, Lenin thought we'd use it for urinals." The smart-ass response from warrior woman Ellen May Ngwethu, protector of the Solar System is fast in coming: "Not his only mistake!" Never mind that for readers at the end of the 20th century Lenin's legacy is little more than a vague footnote. Capitalism has won, the game is over, the socialists have long since been relegated to history's dustbin. But here's this crazy Scot, Ken MacLeod, imagining a far future full of socialist mercenaries obsessing about Leon Trotsky, cracking jokes about "smart-card carrying" Union members, and laying out a smorgasbord of possible libertarian reorganizations of society. It's nuts "The Cassini Division" is set four centuries in the future, and people are
