    That's the centre of a galaxy which, like us, is also always in the centre of the universe... :D

    I believe so Mal.

    I think they're hoping in January when the orbit of Mars co-incides with the orbit of one of our satalites to try and contact it for one last time.

    haven't read those or Banks yet, this month I've been mostly reading 'The Boat of a Million Years' by Poul Anderson. 8)

    Less a novel than a series of short stories and novelettes tied together by their subjects, this volume tells of 11 ``immortals'': individuals who will not die of old age but who can, however, be killed. Anderson ( The Avatar ) brings proven storytelling abilities and research skills to chronicles that range from 310 B.C. to a centuries-distant future. Many of the stories describe an immortal's first awareness of his or her difference, and flight from accusations of witchcraft; other tales relate chance encounters between immortals; a few simply tell a good yarn. The penultimate chapter tells of the eight survivors coming together in present times; the last portrays a future where science has extended everyone's life, creating a world vastly different from what the immortals had expected.

    That sounds right up your street mate, youv'e always had a thing about being immortal.Im reading michael moorcock at the moment, "a nomad of the time streams" series. It is set in various alternate 20th centuries,mostly early but up to the 70's.lots of big airships ,revolutionaries, chinese warlords and anarchists!

    I was talking to someone the other day who's reading a series of books about an alternate Earth type thing, that has airships in it too because nobody has invented fixed wing aircraft in this universe; it's also got a bit of magic in as well I think. Can't remember who the author is though...

    Taking it right back off again, maybe someone should start a 'what book are you reading at the moment' thread?
