Aurora, by Kim Stanley Robinson I have now learned that when a well-known author is said to be 'at the height of his considerable powers' all
over the cover of a new novel, that you should be concerned. I'll have to go back and read the Mars trilogy, to
see if it really is as good as I remember, given that the writing, pacing and even science in this novel left me
with a lot to be desired. It feels as if he learned or latched on to two or three salient points about managing
a generation ship ('feedstocks' for the 'printers', resources getting 'bound to the ship materials', phosphorus) and
then revisited them over and over and over for 500 pages. It wasn't very fun. Back to reading Iain M. Banks.
