Maybe his other books are better, I don't know. Like I said Mallozzi seems to adore his work but I just couldn't see what was so amazing, I kept feeling like I'd read the book before only then it had been better written. I guess its all down to personal taste *shrug*

There were some very good ideas but at times there was also a smugness about those ideas - just not the book for me I guess but any fresh blood on the ideas front - not entirely sure what a "creative consultant" is, isn't that what Mallozzi and Mullie are supposed to be for SGU? - can only be a good thing.
