Customer Reviews

A fantasitic book and there is another in the series

What a fantastic book. I did some research and found out that the sequal 'Eyes of God - A Novel of the Pinch' by Mark Kreighbaum has not only been written but is also reportedly an excellent read. BUT it is already out of print without any one appearing to know it was ever written. This is a sad loss. Does any one have an idea how I could get hold of a copy?

Excellent - I literally couldn't put it down!

This is the first book that has inspired me enough to write a review. I loved the style of writing where there are no long boring descriptions - instead conversations are used to describe the world and it's social, political and technical systems. I took this book with me everywhere I went for 2 days until I had finished it. When can we get more about this world??? WE NEED MORE PALACE BOOKS!

One of the best collaborative works I have read...

Mark Kreighbaum adds some excellent spice to the skilled writing of Katharine Kerr. Many authors whose books I have seen in collaboration end up with fairly dull, long-winded essays through which I can hardly plough. This book is entertaining, philosophical, topical and techinical. I have recommended this book to almost all of my literate friends.

good writting and an interesting, complex world

This is one of the best 4 or 5 fantansy novels that I've read in the last 3 or so years. The characters are interesting and engaging, and the world feels like it has layers of culture and history. Seems to be lots of material for additional novels. The main problem I spotted is that the main female character is so much a male fantasy that it might annoy female readers.

Engrossing! Vivid! and SO real!

The relevance and premonitional qualities of this book are just incredible. The only thing that annoyed me was that there were so many issues UNRESOLVED!!! Who is Riva? What happens to the CyberGuild? What happens to the two lovers? Does she have a baby? What happens to the Lifegivers? PLEASE don't have a war in the sequel - can't we have a SMART sequel that enriches and informs, rather than destroys?
