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...

Honestly? I don't find it particularly evocative. Of course, with the right cover art that might not matter ... but I find the word itself lacks mystery, music or emotional appeal.

But that's just me. *g*

You are a very important "me", Karen, so no "just" about it! :-)

Ah, you big schmoozer. *g*

Hope the book tour is going gangbusters.

Exhausting! I don't know how Kevin J Anderson does it. :-)

He's a trooper, all right. But he's had years to build up the stamina!
