Would you tell us what book you are currently reading and the name of the first science fiction book you ever read?
At the moment, I’m too busy trying to finish Imager’s Intrigue to be reading any fiction, but the last book I read all the way through was an advance copy of Diana Rowland’s forthcoming Mark of the Demon, which is a mix of police procedural and fantasy by a former cop who clearly knows her stuff. It’s good, but a bit “strong” in some scenes for my tastes.
