Right now I'm looking for\nfolks around here who might have read it.  (I should send a note to Damien\nBroderick--I'll bet he has read it!) It seems to have some elements\npointing toward TBOTNS, but aside from that it is a fun read.\n\nIf you haven't read it yet, I hasten to add that it is not at all in the\nflavor or mode of TBOTNS.  The mode is ala Van Vogt, so if you dislike Van\nVogt, you probably won't like this novel.  I was led to it by reading\nAldiss's SPACE OPERA anthology.\n\n=mantis=\n\n\nSirius Fiction\nHas Moved To\nhttp://www.siriusfiction.com/"
