Customer Reviews

Imagination deluxe

This was probably one of the most intriguing authors of science fiction of the 1980's. Anything he wrote during that time, including this series, along with Mallworld, Starship and Haiku, was brilliant. The writing is witty, cynical, literate, and bold. The plots are fantastic and original. It's like Vonnegut on steroids. Unfortunately, his fascination with death has now seemingly grown to an obsession, and today he writes only gothic horror. In this genre his dark side is no longer a contrast, but the only color visible. So skip anything written by him about vampires, and read this book, or other SF written while the nova burned brightly.

Excellent

I feel that this is one of the best books that I have read and feel that the entire series is equally good. Sucharitkul creates a world with a blend of Science fiction and fantisy and spins a wonderful tale. If you can get a copy of this book, Read It.
