I enjoyed the Dune works, even the 3 new ones that were recently released.

I also read “Moving Mars,” I like it. I have not read those others you mentioned.

I bet you would love “Vacuum Flowers” by Michael Swanwick.

I am open to just about any SCI-FI, but I prefer stories written in the near future. I like story’s about human exploration. I usually steer clear of the human/alien war books- I find them too unbelievable. I think in a situation where two races have evolved independently from each other, it is unlikely they will be on equal footing. One will most likely be more advanced than the other, so a drawn out war is unlikely.

I also steer clear of most Fantasy and wish they would stop including it with science fiction.
