Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book, while hinting at a golden age plot, really falls back on a very cliched plot device. It was rather interesting to see the way he ignores physics and the reality of machine degradation (mid 80's technology still operational 1000 years in the future) in a way that the golden age writers used to do, but the resolution was a copout that anyone familiar with science fiction will see coming from the first chapter. If he'd just ended the book without falling back on his initial storyline it would have rated an extra star just for the memories it evoked.

Paul Cook's mission seems to be to fool the reader. Just when you think you know what's going on, he pulls a switcheroo. Along the way he cajoles the reader with a fluid writing style and interesting visions of the future. I liked the Clantrams the best. I could have seen more of them. But, really, at heart, this book is a love story and, in the end, it works. More people should read Cook's books. Only his apparent lack of ambition is holding him back.
