Thanks Maril,

I’ll take a look at your suggestions. They look like good ones. Martin and Cherryh seem like good bets. Although the title, “Cyteens”, does seem a little juvenile. I suppose this was written back when attaching “Cy” to everything connoted being on the cutting edge.

As an aside… I caught the tail end of a commercial on television the other day. It was for an upcoming show. Dinotopia. I seem to remember seeing these books somewhere along the way but I haven’t noticed them down at my local bookstore in recent trips. Of course the commercial featured a lot of special effects, (mostly CG), and it looked like it was well done, but it didn’t delve into the plot at all. I was wondering whether or not this series had any meat to it or is it just a depthless tale woven around the concept of humans and dinosaurs living together. Does anyone out there know anything about this series?
