Are these books they've read in ARC or something pre-release, or are they just anticipating these based on the author or other reviews?

Always happy to have a list of books to look into.

The Terraformers is already on my radar but I haven't heard of the rest of the list yet.

In Ascension sounds excellent to me - though the premise appears to be similar to the 'Boundary' series by Eric Flint.

Macmillan's snippet about The Terraformers reads interestingly and already ideas are forming in my head re what it's all about.

Sorry Tachyon; they don't give any details - just looked again.
