Off topic, but if you like science fiction John then I strongly recommend that you check out Richard Morgan. He's just had his second novel published which I'm just reading. His first was Altered Carbon, see http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/057507390X/ref=sr_aps_books_1_2/202-4078846-2200602 Recommended!

And there’s me thinking you were a “Mills And Boon” reader….

So book 1 was actually ‘Across Realtime’ by Vernor Vinge, which was 2 books in one: The Peace War and Marooned in Realtime. I even recognise the cover. Thanks.

Not sure about book 2 though, doesn’t ring a bell…

I’m probably totally off the mark, but the second plot kind of reminds me of The Black Hole, written by Alan Dean Foster.

… do this:

Google search – ‘tinkers, bubbles, novel’

The Peace War by Vernor Vinge

Book 2 may be a little more tricky. A bit sparse on the old details there.
