Kushiel's Mercy (Kushiel's Legacy #03) by Jacqueline Carey
Kushiel's Mercy (Kushiel's Legacy #03)

I accidently, clicked one star in the previous comment!

If you buy this book, or any of the books in this series beware - putting this book aside, will be almost impossible. Carey is a glorious writer. The characters and story will capture your attention and not let go until the end...and then you will sigh and hope that Carey writes another, in the series.

The Temporal Void by Peter F. Hamilton
The Temporal Void

Peter Hamilton remains one of my favorite writers. This book keeps your attention to the very end. I made the mistake of starting the book, before bedtime and was unable to shut off my ereader device until 4am. After I got on my train, I resumed reading it and missed my stop! LOL. I would recommend this book, indeed any of Peter Hamilton's books. This is a treat and keeps with the tradition of great space opera and can ALMOST rival the Dune series (by the Herberts, father & son). I look forward to Mr. Hamilton's next book(s).
