Royston, I like "Remnant." (I also like Graham's Pioneer.) Have you seen my Martian Rovers on page 3, post 29?
I am currently reading
Genesis (an epic poem) by Frederick Turner. Bill Carptenter, knowing I like SF, recommended it to me a while back. It's a riveting story, which also contains some interesting philosophising.

Originally published in 1988, Genesis was the first major work of fiction that addressed the idea of terraforming Mars. It not only suggested the idea, but provided a feasible solution for doing so. During its initial publication, Genesis was on the list of recommended reading at NASA, and has since gone on to enjoy cult status. Its acknowledged list of admirers includes such literary luminaries as Brian Aldiss, Amy Clampitt, Arthur C. Clarke, Thomas M. Disch, Kim Stanley Robinson, and Pulitzer Prize winning poet, James Merrill. It is with great pride that Ilium Press brings this influential and prescient work back into print.
