"Vulcan 607", a wonderful story which I had never heard of until I read about it on this forum. Reading this story of the grit of real military operations is a wonderful supplement to the ease of moving a counter across a map. Before "Vulcan 607" I finished four fine books by Alastair Reynolds. "The Prefect", "Revelation Space", "Redemption Ark", and Absolution Gap". All are set in the same SF Universe, with "The Prefect" being an excellent stand alone story, and the other three interconnected in a 2,100 page series. Reynolds is a inactive scientist, an astronomer, now dedicated to science fiction. He writes hard SF space operas, without FTL, a tricky thing to do. I really like his work, and there are more I will be reading. All five of the books are excellent reading, and then some. Chuck
