I'm pitching a new space opera novel--big, fat, standalone--and it's about a very cool and unusual structure that may or may not be of human origins.

I want to call it Structure, but I'd like to know what you think. Is that title cool or lame?

Me, I loved the way Matter looked on the cover of Iain Banks' last book, but I'm prepared to be outvoted.

ETA - Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts. You're a wonderfully creative bunch! I've decided to drop the definite article and run with Structure for now, but lots of new alternatives are rattling around my brain, and one of them may yet shoot to the surface...

BIG THUMBS UP. Especially with the definite article.
Come to think of it, "A Structure", with the indefinite article, would be really silly.

Thumbs and also big toes and stuff to a big fat standalone space opera too btw! Not just more SW SF, but a standalone! No waiting around for middle parts and final volumes :) Not that a good duo/trilogy doesn't have its place!

SHIT.

Especially without the definite article! Sorry! So I'm with the majority here. *phew*

:-) Thanks, Pete.

And no more writing 'em either! For now, anyway. It's time to shake things up a tad.
