5.0 out of 5 stars Different, unusual, absorbing, 4 Feb 1999
By A Customer
I wasn't sure what to expect from this, it seems to be a blend of genres. On the one hand, it's like Gibson in that a lot of detail is (deliberately) left out - the reader has to pick it up as she goes along. On the other hand some of it reads like an action-hero SF novel - Eric must be nearly indestructible with his special powers...

However on balance, it's a combination that definitely works. The plot is complex and demanding in a typicallly modern SF style, and while the ending might be a bit predictable, you do spend a lot of the book wondering how the heroes are going to reach it alive.

I can't help thinking that Sarah Z. is taking a pop at a certain type of bureaucracy in places (rather like Neal Stephenson in _Snow Crash_), and if this is so, then extra marks for the tongue-in-cheek humour. Next time you're in a meeting of some sort and you think it's dragging, compare it to a meeting of the Rhudolant Vitae...

Definitely one for the SF fan; as a first book, this is outstanding quality - this will be a hard act to follow.
