_Beowulf's Children_? Almost as good, but still just a sequel.
I've been waiting for _Destiny Road_ for too long now. Ditto for
_Ringoworld Throne_ or whatever. I've decided to stop following sequels,
and go for fresh meat again. :-,
One book I never pass up in the book store is the _Year's Best Sci-Fi_ or
whatever it's called. Nothing but short stories, from relatively new
authors, and the vast majority of them really are quite good. Wait, I'll
get the exact title and post it in a later message.
Cheers,
