Cosmonaut Keep

on: January 13, 2010, 10:49:30 PM

Just been re reading Cosmonaut Keep by Ken McLeod in the first few chapters he name checks Gerber, Leatherman and Victorinox

A few later on someone is seen using an Opinel, what I like about this one is that it's being used in a few hundred years from now on another world and seems to be considered a example of quality that they can no longer make there.

He's worth the read. I've read The Star Fraction, The Stone Canal and The Cassini Division, all get a thumbs up ...

I've not read his more recent stuff.

Can you tell when I stopped working near a bookshop

I'm not taking any more mod orders at present, sorry.
