Heh. The big yellow guy came immediately to mind for me as well.
Can anyone offer me a plausible explanation for how a far-less-than-dinosaur-killing meteor impact somehow leads to a slow-burn global warming effect that will eventually lead to an uninhabitable Earth? Because I'd like to enjoy Kowal's series, but as long as that bit continues to bug me, I just can't read it.It's sort of the way that I could never watch the various "Stargate" series, in spite of my fondness for cheesy SF, because I could never get past the idiocy of the "Ancient Astronauts built the pyramids" stuff.
