I’m not a huge David Brin fan. I’ve really only read a couple of his books, although I did enjoy them. But when Brin’s newest book, Existence, came out, it looked interesting enough to put on my reading list.. And it did not dissappoint. The book deals with a first contact scenario unlike any other and contains some interesting ideas. Let’s see what happens.

David Brin’s Kiln People
I love science fiction detective novels. They are a mashup of two of my favorite genres. Most stories try to put a noir feel into the science fiction setting, but there are some that aim for a straight forward detective story. And that is close to what Kiln People is. David Brin has brought us a detective story that is the setting for a wonderful novel full of ideas. The ideas don’t come fast and furious, but fall into the story in logical places and the impacts of the ideas are discussed along with the story. So, let’s see what Kiln people is all about.
