Just finished my first book of the year, Alien Clay by Adrian Tchaikovsky. I think he's now my favorite author, at least currently writing. He's so good at so many things, from hard SF to fantasy. He's created some really interesting worlds, and populated them with interesting characters.

So far, I've read these books of his (order I read them, not order published):

Children of Time
Children of Ruin
Children of Memory
Made Things
Walking to Aldebaran
Service Model
Shroud
City of Last Chances
Alien Clay

Each of these is a gem. The children of time series has to be an all-time great SF trilogy. If you want my little paragraph of spoiler-free notes on why of them, let me know.

Its probably my favorite scifi series of all time. I recommend it to everyone (unless they're creeped out by spiders).
