So many authors have forgotten how to hook and hold a reader without going off onto uninteresting tangents. Al Sarrantonio is not one of them. Despite so many characters in this book, each has a unique personality without volumes of side-stories to help "build character" over and over again. And every character is fascinating. His writing flows well and quickly, and his imagery is admirable. Perhaps the best book I have ever read.
