At last, word from someone who's read RETURN TO THE WHORL (proximity to David Hartwell has its advantages, eh, Kevin...) Two questions, Kevin: 1) How do you rate RTW, both in the overall context of Wolfe's oeuvre and in competition with OBW and IGJ? 2) Is Tor sending out review copies? I requested one five weeks ago, but no reply as yet... ===== Dr. Nicholas Gevers, Associate Editor, INFINITY PLUS (http://www.infinityplus.co.uk).

As to the first: I think it completes the trilogy very well. I really don't want to comment further, for a complex of reasons. As to the second: I don't think they're sending out general review copies yet.
