I saw a couple of nice shout-outs come across my Google feed recently. (They kept the RSS service for searches, but deep-sixed Google Reader, go fig)

The first is on Reinalyn M. Terrado’s blog where she puts me in the company of Barry N. Malzberg (Which is pretty high praise IMHO).

Swiniarski shapes his fantastic worlds and beings as heightened pictures of our own, telling deep meaning about our condition. For that, he deserves some praise and recognition.

The second is a complementary review of the Hostile Takeover Trilogy omnibus at Two Dudes in an Attic.

So to sum up, this is a very long book, or three medium-sized books, that will probably appeal to SF readers like me. […] There’s lots to think about and lots of detail to enjoy. As far as I can tell, Swann remains under the popular radar, but this is worth searching out for those that want some meat in their book diet.
