In his review of Paul J. McAuley's CONFLUENCE series,
just posted on SF WEEKLY, John Clute does a systematic
comparison of the trilogy with THE BOOKS by Wolfe. I
agree with Clute's analysis; but McAuley himself
downplays the homage element. In any event, I strongly
recommend CONFLUENCE to everyone; SHRINE OF STARS, the
final volume, is very like a redemptive parody of THE
URTH OF THE NEW SUN.
