Dr. BDO's Problem Page : Ken MacLeod
From deep within the sunny West Midlands comes a rebuke...
At your recommendation I decided to read The Night Sessions by Ken MacLeod, I am not a massive reader of Science fiction, I generally read thrillers, and this is the first MacLeod book that I have read. Although I found the world intriguing, the plot was too slow for me and I didn't really get into it until the very end. Should I read any of MacLeod's other books? Can you recommend any to me?
Worried In West Midlands
Hello worried. I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy The Night Sessions as much as me, perhaps this is because I was continually guessing where the plot was going from a SF point of view? Or maybe I appreciated the intellectual thought game of it more? Not sure, it's not important. However, don't give up on MacLeod just yet, I definitely think you should read The Execution Channel. This is a near future thriller, which I think may capture your attention right from the outset. It is Science Fiction, but it's got a blend of espionage that you may enjoy.
Have fun, and keep reading that Science Fiction!
