Avoid the large chain bookstores at least in Aus and NZ.

There are some new SF writers you might like.

Greg Benford
Mike Flynn
John Cramer
If you like military SF, John Ringo

On a non SF note I think at least having an official policy of return
to the moon and on to Mars beats not having one.

We'll see. Lots of fascinating stuff to come.
