which makes me want to read Player of Games again. And buy 'Matter'.

too many books, too little time.

Matter was a great ride. Have you read The Algebraist?

I have it, and I'm pretty sure I started it a while back. I've no idea where it's gone though...

It's fun, simultaneously fulfilling and subverting space opera tropes, and with a Ming the Merciless-type villain that must be seen to be believed. I heartily recommend it (full disclosure: Night Shade Books published the American edition).
