Hi Advocatus,

Thanks for the recommendation and welcome the the Website at the End of the Universe. I performed a Google search and quickly came up with the URL for the book. It's easy to remember since it's the title of the book: http://www.communionofdreams.com/.

It's available as a free PDF download on the site. I've snagged a copy and put it in my stash of eBooks. One of these days when I clear a bit of room on my reading list, I'll give it a shot. Putting the story in the leagues of A Fire Upon the Deep and Blood Music is high praise indeed. Vinge's book is one of my favourites in recent years and enjoyed Blood Music although I preferred the original version over the expanded novel.

I don't like audiobooks as much as I enjoy radio or audio adaptations of books which are performed by voice actors as opposed to someone merely reading the book word for word. I do make an exception for audio readings of short stories, perhaps because of my short attention span. The stories from the Escape Pod Podcast are worth checking out.
