Book Reviews

An extraordinary novel. Classed as scifi, but much more. A vision of future Thailand, where there are elements of genetic manipulation of animals and plants in a precarious society. A realistic and thoughtful extrapolation of worrisome current trends energizes the story. It could easily be compared with the rich vision of William Gibson.

A science fiction classic, winner of Nebula and Hugo awards. The author, a Vietnam vet, had trouble getting it published right after the war in 1975. The themes are timeless, as is war itself. The writing is as fresh and timely as today's headlines.

Readers who like Heinlein and John Scalzi will enjoy.
