In Response To: Re: Has anyone read Greg Bear? (Jillybean) : To be honest with you I hadn't heard of any of them. I'd never heard of Nylund before the Halo novels, and Dietz only because he wrote really trashy military SF in an even trashier series. Greg Bear has been a name in Science Fiction, at least, American Science Fiction, for around thirty years. Frankie's got an interesting point - Eon was REALLY REALLY good. It explored the "humanity is an essence, not a body" motif in a way that I hadn't seen much of before, and I've seen little of since, with notable exceptions like Stephen Baxter and Iain M. Banks. The Second Foundation trilogy he collaborated on with Benford and Bear was pretty amazing in its own right. He's not my favorite SF author, by far, but he's no slouch.
