5.0�toiles sur 5 A real page-turner, Jui 7 2000

Par	Ken Coar "Rodent of Unusual Size" (in 1.0 AU Solar orbit) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

A fun and gripping story about global politics and the "war between the sexes," 'A World Between' does an excellent job of showing how fanaticism can warp perception and thus alter reality. When the peaceful world of Pacifica is subjected to 'missions' from the rabid Femocrats of Earth and the male-dominated Transcendental Scientists, both intent upon converting Pacifica to their own viewpoints, it's a real challenge to the citizens and the government. Public opinion is moulded through the media, and Pacifica prides itself on being the most media-savvy and sophisticated world in the human Galaxy. Only now the Pacificans' own 'First Amendment' type laws are being used against them..

Frequently graphic, occasionally disturbing, and always enjoyable.

Warning: This book contains some explicit passages that are definitely adult in nature. Despite my immense liking for it, I have to rate this title 'R' because of the language and sexual explicitness.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Excellent: great fun with some solid underlying ideas, Oct. 8 1999

Par	Tom Gardner (tgg@hpl.hp.com) (Bristol, UK) - Voir tous mes commentaires

The male/female war is fun, but the Technocrat/Femocrat war is even better.

The Technocrat/Femocrat war is the best SF description of the USA/USSR ideological cold war, as seen from the perspective of "neutral" Pacificans aka Europeans.

But I'm not sure that Spinrad intended this comparison!

Anyway, the book's great fun!

5.0�toiles sur 5 A Fun Romp Through The Pink and Blue Wars, Mars 12 1998

Par Un client

There are three main themes in this book: Tension between the sexes, Media Influence, and Politicking. These three are melded into a fun and readable novel that keeps you turning pages. While some the characters would be considered slightly stereotypical today if you read this book in the context of its copyright date 1979 I think it was doing all right. Some of the issues it brings up, pertaining to tension between the sexes, still remain. It is interesting to contrast the issues the book deals with to what we is happening, or not happening in this area today. The media twisting that goes on was fun and effective, I got the impression that a debate with Norman Spinrad would be fun to watch as well as hard on his opponent. The policing in the book is the weakest written of the three themes but still enjoyable to read and twisty enough to keep your attention.
