The Last Theorem (Arthur C. Clark & Frederik Pohl)
Anyone else picked this up yet?

It's being billed as Clark's last novel (although I wouldn't be massively surprised if a few 'unfinished' collaborations come out of the woodwork) and revolves around Fermat's Last Theorem.

I've only read the first chapter so far and it seems like it's going to be a dammed good read.

Best sci-fi novel I've read in at least five years.

Well worth buying. Will post a review of it tomo or Monday.

Re: The Last Theorem (Arthur C. Clark & Frederik Pohl)
I'll pick it up, aye. Arthur C. Clarke is the fucking most amazing man ever. I bet he could clog toilets with his piss and modelled the TMA-1 on his enormous, unfathomably smooth cock. WHICH, MAY I ADD, I also bet he used to snap in half like 32 women PER DAY, as he most definitely WAS NOT GAY like those LYING WHORES who edit Wikipedia would have you believe.

I got "The Collected Stories" out of the library ages ago and haven't brought it back yet because, well, I can't find the damn thing. How the fuck is it even possible to lose something that big?!?! More to the point, should I go around and 'fess up or do I just dinghy it...?
I hope I don't fall asleep tonight and wake up to find myself hurled billions of years into the Earth's future like either of the characters in Nemesis / Exile of the Eons - MY LATE FEE FOR THE LIBRARY BOOK WOULD BE ASTRONOMICAL.

I only came in to this thread earlier to tell Suemas he should review this for the magazine. Completely forgot after reading Lev's post!
