[QUOTE="Richards, post: 7462753, member: 508"] I'm still reading through R. A. Salvatore's [i]Rise of the King[/i], but since it's a hardcover and I spent Monday and Wednesday in airports and on airplanes (business trip meeting on Tuesday), I opted to read a paperback during my travels just for the size consideration. (But I brought the hardback along to read in the hotel.) Since I dislike reading two novels at once, I went with the 1985 [i]Far Frontiers[/i] collection edited by Jerry Pournelle and Jim Baen. It was science fiction short stories, novelettes, speculative fact essays, and a book review, all taken from the pages of the magazine of the same name for that year. It was pretty good - and I have the next two years' editions of the same in my hopper for future reading. But [i]Rise of the King[/i] is getting good, too. The set-up is about all over with and the big action scenes are in the forefront. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
