Engines of Light: The Gnostic Potboilers of Ken MacLeod
By Jeremy Smith
I.
"W hy am I me and why not you?" asks a child in Wim Wenders's 1987 film Wings of Desire "Why am I here and why not there? When did time begin and where does space end?" An angel stands nearby, invisible, existing outside the limits imposed by human bodies. He is the only witness to the child's thoughts, weaving them into the story the angel tells to eternity. In Ken MacLeod's new novel Engine City the third book of his Engines of Light series a young woman named Susan voluntarily inhales spores from a furry, eight-eyed, eight-limbed species called the Multipliers. A fever comes over her; colors become more vivid. She sees the "incredible intricacy of the lichens on the log," and contemplates "the molecular machinery of the leaves on the trees." God, she tells a Multiplier, is in everything. "Yes," replies the eight-legged alien, "did you not know?" Memories and thoughts, not her own, blossom in her consciousness, fragments from other lives. The tiny Multipliers that now live in her body not only extend her life, but also establish a continuum with the consciousness of billions of Multipliers and other creatures touched by them. For Susan, the line between me and you has dissolved. She is both here and there. Her story will live on, carried by the angels. Engines of Light began in 2000 with Cosmonaut Keep and continued the following year with Dark Light The series tells the millennia-spanning tale of humankind's contact with a race of "extremophile nanobacteria" which the Earthlings call simply "the gods" that exist in asteroids and cometary masses throughout the galaxy, linked into a vast cosmic mind of "exquisite sensitivity." The story centers on a group of 21st century cosmonauts propelled by the gods to the planet Mingulay in a region of space 100,000 light years away from Earth. There the cosmonauts find a "Second Sphere" inhabited by deracinated human populations, their planets linked by starfaring giant squid called the kraken and humanoid dinosaurs called the saurs.

Guest of Honour: Ken MacLeod Ken MacLeod was born in the small town of Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis in the Scottish Hebrides on the 2nd of August 1954. He moved to the town of Greenock at the age of ten, which is where he discovered science fiction, which he read voraciously for the next ten years. He attended Glasgow University, where he earned a degree in zoology in 1976, before going on to study biomechanics at Brunel University outside London. In 1981 he married his wife Carol, and they have two children, Sharon and Michael. Although he read virtually no SF for a ten-year period after getting married, it was around this time that Ken began working on a story that he had been telling his friends about for years, which eventually became the manuscript for The Star Fraction , which was published in 1995 by Legend as part of a two-book contract. It is fair to say that this first novel caused quite a stir, as it won the 1996 Prometheus Award for libertarian science fiction, as well as being a runner-up for the

Ken Macleod I've only read one of Ken Macleod's novels, the one reviewed here. His first novel, Star Fraction , was runner-up for the Arthur C Clarke award, and it was recommended to me by a friend, so it must be pretty good. Along with the praise he's received from a number of notable SF writers, and the innovative new ideas that have featured in The Cassini Division , he's certainly a new author to look out for. The covers of The Cassini Division is pretty eye-catching. I'm not sure what it's meant to be, perhaps one of the fighers from the novel, but it definitely made me look twice. The covers of his other novels, such as The Sky Road are generally pretty serious looking. Interesting fact: So far, all of Ken Macleod's novels have begun with ' The' , they're all three words long , and the second word always begins with the letter ' S '. Obviously Macleod's imagination doesn't extend to his novels' titles. A shining example of a typical 4 star book. The Cassini Division. I only have a few quibbles. One is that it portrays the bad guys, the

In an uncertain future on the far world of Mingulay, human colonists live in the title's ancient, alien-built Keepcoexisting with reptilian "saurs," trading with visiting ships piloted by krakens, and hiding their laborious "Great Work" of developing human-guided navigation between the stars. Meanwhile, alternate chapters present a mid-21st-century Earth whose EU is (to America's horror) Russian-dominated with a big red star in the middle of its flag. Rumors of alien contact abound, and computer whiz kid Matt Cairns finds himself carrying a data disk of unknown origin that offers antigravity and a space drive.

Ken MacLeod: An Appreciation
"Science fiction's freshest new writer...MacLeod is a fiercely intelligent, prodigiously well-read author who manages to fill his books with big issues without weighing them down." Salon.com "Engaged, ingenious, and wittily partisan, Ken MacLeod is a one-man revolution." Asimov's SF Ken MacLeod graduated with a BSc in Zoology from Glasgow University in 1979. Following research in biomechanics at Brunel University he completed his M.Phil thesis. He previously worked as a computer analyst, but is now a full-time writer. He lives in South Queensferry, near Edinburgh, with his wife and children. "Deliciously ironic, brilliantly imagined, MacLeod's witty and intelligent yarn packs a tremendous wallop. More, please!"

The Star Faction by Ken MacLeod reviewed by John Kenny
Original appearance: Albedo one issue 10
I'm always eager to try out a first author and the fact that THE STAR FRACTION by KEN MACLEOD is bone fide SF was doubly pleasing. Macleod pulls together three characters of disparate backgrounds in a future London that is on the verge of revolution. He paints an extremely bleak picture of life in this post Thatcher/Major England where Communist/Socialist factions struggle to survive.
Overall, this book succeeds, with convincing characters, social setup and a version of the global computer network that is well thought out. Macleod ties up all his threads in expected and unexpected ways that leave you feeling satisfied. If I have any reservations it's in his densely described political demography. It took me seventy pages to get to grips with the political setup. I was mixing up the Army of the New Republic with the Left Alliance, I thought the Greens and the Barbarians were separate groups for a while, the Cranks and the Creeps seemed interchangeable.
And the two main relationships which spring up throughout the course of the novel just don't ring true. I think the author felt that it was an essential ingredient in a novel, but the characters and story would have worked just as well without it.

Just catching up on email since I've been offline since Thursday, I see the firewall/tunneling over HTTP thread is flaring on the SOAP list . There are valid points on all sides, naturally, but your typical mail list is like a conference room with dozens of participants. It doesn't matter how intelligent or knowledgable the participants are, if they don't understand how to properly focus and direct a discussion then chaos results. The end result of this thread will be like a lot of others: nothing. By the time the thread ends there will have been very little coherent information that can be garnered from the thread that anyone could use to make any usable design choices or decisions. Are there solutions? Yes. Solutions range from simply maintaining a list of points and counterpoints all the way up to informal and formal facilitation and discussion techniques.

Ken MacLeod and Richard Morgan Family SF
Abi is down in London for a few days, so Alex and I are on our own for a while. Partaaay! Well, it is if you call going out to science fiction author readings partaaaying. Ken MacLeod and Richard Morgan were in session at Waterstones this evening. Before it started, I asked them if it would be okay if we sat right at the back, where Alex would have some space to sit and play, and they said that would be fine. I had bought him a couple of new books, and I was hoping that would keep him quiet for at least some of the time. On the whole, Alex was pretty well behaved. There was some noisy plumbing in the back of the room which probably masked some of his cooings and mumblings, but there were occasions where he got very excited at having nifty plastic chairs to climb on. A couple of times he seemed too energetic, and I took him out of the room. Through the fire escape at the back there was a staff private where he could play a bit more loudly. (Fortunately, the staff didn't seem to mind.) Although I am completely smitten with Alex ( obviously ), I do know that not everyone is quite so fond of children. And when you go along to an author event, you probably don't want the constant burblings of a toddler interrupting the flow. I do feel bad about possibly having disturbed some people's enjoyment of the evening. Plus, having to pay half a brain's worth of attention to Alex all the time (combined with the joys of Obscure Auditory Dysfunction), meant that I probably didn't even catch half of the conversation between Messrs MacLeod and Morgan. So although it was a fun
