Another
great SF novel from an author who defines the field!, February 11, 2012
This review is from: The Fourth Wall
(Paperback)
I
am a prepub reviewer for science fiction publishers. In preparing this review,
as I looked back over the body of work that has comprised this author's career,
I was struck by how many of his novels I have read and enjoyed over the
thirty-plus years that he has been writing. The only reason that I had never
given him the praise he deserves, is that the breadth of his writings in the
field has obscured his contribution to the readers of this genre.
This latest novel is a continuation of This Is Not a Game (Dagmar Shaw), Orbit, 2009. It follows a washed-up child actor's encounter with Dagmar's Great Big Idea company and the augmented reality games (ARGs). The humanity of his characters or the exploration of the possiblities of database mining that underpin this book would, either one, make it worth reading. Together they provide a healthy swig of the best SF has to offer!
