    from Damien's post:
    "Damien's book [THE SPIKE] will serve as a more imaginative sequel to the
    one you are reading now." (p. 148)

    He also called THE LAST MORTAL GENERATION "this truly mind-stretching book"
    (p. 189).

    So I think it's reasonable to suppose that he's extremely open to these
    prospects.
    (end)

    I sometimes forget Damien's stature and just think of him as "one of the guys" until I read quotes of recommendation from a giant like Clarke.

    I wish Damien could get a Discovery Channel type of documentary series made of either/both books. He would make a fine host of such a show.
