"I am learning that I REALLY like james Alan Gardner... After reading Commitment Hour a year ago I found this at the second hand PB store and wow. I have set aside all the other "in progress" books while I concentrate burning through this one."
"Radiant is, I believe, the 6th book in Gardner's Expendable series, but they're not the sort of books that you necesserily have to read in order. I read one a long time ago, and have been looking for the others for a while, and I finally just gave up and read whatever was at hand. I'm glad I did, because I really enjoyed it.
The premise of the Expendable books is that humanity's lot in life has been bettered to the point that everyone lives comfortable lives, and don't really know what danger or unpleasantness is. The people who do the dirty work, the ones who go on the dangerous missions - ie, the people who have all the fun - are the Explorer Corps. The Explorer Corps are made up of people who are in some way funny looking - ie, unfit for normal society, but perfectly fit to be exposed to the dangers of the universe. In Radiant, Youn Suu is an Explorer who unwillingly gets involved in the schemes of an omnipotent alien moss called the Balrog. It's hard to describe this book in detail without giving away some of the more interesting plot twists, so I won't try. But it's exciting, compelling and interesting. I really enjoyed my glimpse into Garnder's future, and I loved loved loved the final reveal."
