Is Journey to Centauri better?...
...Than three other Michael Ely's SMAC based sci-fi books? Somehow I feel that even though I've enjoyed from each of them(the first two I've read) I think that Journey to Centauri was more impressive piece of work. What do you think?

I didn't get to class today because I sat up all night reading journey to Alpha Centauri.
I hope you feel guilty.

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all.

Then I guess I must blame Firaxis for making such a great game as SMAC because I've missed lessons just because of playing it 24 hours a day
But wasn't that great piece of work? I really like Journey to Centauri, not to say that I don't like the books too, but it's somehow more appealing.
And, nope, I don't feel guilty at all

Michael Ely also wrote the "Journey" sequences
(This was mentioned as one of the criteria used when he won the competition for writing the three novels)

Yeah, I know. I just think that "Journey to Centauri" was somewhat more interesting."I'm having a sort of hard time paying attention because my automated teller has started speaking to me, sometimes actually leaving weird messages on the screen, in green lettering, like "Cause a Terrible Scene at Sotheby's" or "Kill the President" or "Feed Me a Stray Cat", and I was freaked out by the park bench that followed me for six blocks last Monday evening and it too spoke to me."
