Just finished up Hull Zero Three…Such an awesome book. Solidified my love for his work.

That is awesome. I’ve enjoyed his Darwin books and Blood Music and his short fiction. I’ve been meaning to read the Forge of God books.

I think this is where I’m supposed to write something that will appeal to the Contest Czar so that I even have a chance of winning. Dear Stubby, I checked out your photos listed on this site (/users/Stubby) and ‘you look mahvelous’, really best photo I’ve ever seen of you.
This sounds lovely! I’d like to enter, please!

yeas please
Wow!
I do hope this is open for people from Old Europe. :)
Sign me up.
Thanks
fingers are crossed, bear is awesome
Probably missed the deadline, but that’s what the international dateline is good for…
I’d never heard of Greg before hearing he was writing Cryptum. Getting all of these would give me something to read in my downtime between classes this semester.
to reply after sithhead..
The Eon and Forge books are some of the most foward thinking books written and I would enjoy rereading these classics and Gregs new venture in more than my “downtime”
I’ve read the first two chapters of Cryptum and they’re excellent. I’m going to have to go to the store and pick that one up.
My bookshelves are looking a bit bare these days. Maybe you guys could help with that?
Sign me up! Thanks.
Mr. Bear is awesome.
Haven’t read anything from G. Bear yet. I would like to change it :D Sign me up.
My copy of Eon is falling apart – would be wonderful to get a new one! (And I’m not even sure I ever READ Eternity!)
Can’t pass up a chance for free books.
Huzzah for halo!
I could use a free set of books…
Sign me up!

Another entry for the drawing… looking forward to reading Cryptum; getting it for free would even better! :)
Love Greg and Love HALO

Pleaseee! :)
I hope I win cryptum is amazing and I am sure these are to!
I used to like halo. I would rather enjoy the broader range of science fiction now.
Now let’s see who the Forerunners really are…(Ahem, Protheans and Collec- wait, that’s not Halo)
Can’t wait to read Cryptum!
