The Steel Remains

[Steel General]

The book is now available in hardcover through the Science Fiction Book Club - don't know if it has Ravs map in it or not.

I plan on ordering the book as soon as i get a bit of extra $$$

Awesome map!

Haven't had a chance to pick up the book. Anyone care to give me a brief review?

I just had to say, this is a wonderful map. I tend to be in awe of most of the maps done by the folks here. I sucketh mightily when it comes to maps, however I am slowly trying to learn how to become better but seeing this map, It's almost demoralizing. Learning a new program (Gimp) is a slow process especially when the only layers I've ever been familiar with are those in cake, sandwiches and snow. The desire to produce a map keeps me winnowing away at tutorials and my lackluster results. Seeing your map tonight however is seeing the end goal (WAY WAY down the road for me). Once again A great map.

(Egads this is my first post... and I joined in May of 08! I am ashamed and hang my head in lamentations.)

Just want to say I think your map is fantastic, I have been a Richard Morgan fan for years and when I read his praise for you and your map in the Blessed are the Mapmakers post on his page, I just had to come and take a look. Well done

I too just registered to see this map after reading about it on Richard Morgans blog. Great work, ravells. Congratulations to getting it published.

Although it is customary to have only registered users see the maps, I find it a bit of a hassle. One way to work around that would be to embed the picture via an imagehost like imageshack.us or tinypic, safes traffic for the forum too.

And as a quite late answer to vgunn's question: A good review can be found on Strange Horizons.
(Skip the review on the SF Site, it's ridiculously homophobic.)
