Dead Lines

I picked up this Greg Bear novel at the Popular Bookstore sale last weekend. Greg Bear threading into the horror genre? Interesting. I have started on it and it has so far been an engrossing read with the protagonist venturing throughout California with an urn of his friend's ashes!

I had read 'Blood Music', 'The Forge of God' and a few other of Bear's work a decade or two ago and they were worthwhile reads. 'Engine Summer' was, however, unreadable.
