2.0 out of 5 stars Over intellectualised, 4 Feb 2007
By R. Newby (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Damascus (Paperback)
I got quite bored reading this. The characters are quite well drawn, but the plot is random, as you'd expect from something garnered entirely from one newspaper. Very thin on ideas after page one, not something I'd recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good follow up to X20, 22 Sep 1999
By foxtrot_uk@hotmail.com (bournemouth, uk) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Damascus (Paperback)
An impressive book which only just fails to live up to the excellence of Beard's first novel. Beard continues to experiment with structure and is proving to be quite a master of it. Looking forward to his third book when it comes out.
