/*Home Fires by Gene Wolfe */

/From Publishers Weekly: "Against a backdrop of science fictional 
elements such as time dilation through space travel, cyborgs, and brain 
downloads, Science Fiction Hall of Fame inductee Wolfe (The Sorcerer's 
House) builds a romance and a mystery. Successful lawyer Skip Grison 
wants to find a wonderful gift for his contracted paramour, Chelle Blue, 
now 20 years his junior after an interstellar military tour. *After 
reuniting Chelle with her estranged mother, Vanessa, whose consciousness 
has been downloaded into a new body*, Skip takes Chelle on a 
round-the-world cruise that turns into an almost screwball comedy of 
hijackings and chaos as shadowy people may be trying to get to Skip, 
Chelle, Vanessa, or someone else entirely. Red herrings and unknown, 
mistaken, or confused identities saturate the novel, making this well 
suited for readers, especially mystery readers, who don't often read 
science fiction."

Does it seem to anyone else that Cory Doctorow is Wolfe's favorite 
author right now?
