( )I think this book isbetter than Necromancer, but is not as good as Tactics of Mistake. Tam Olyn's character is a little too insistant on his integrity, especially regarding his objectivity. The validity of faith is finally affirmed at the end, while, for the most part its value is drown in Olyn's perspective. The ending is a little pat, and Olyn's obsession a bit transparent, but the inside depiction of the Friendlies is indespensible to the Childe Cycle. It's possible that even this small group of reporters ... a group that can synthesize the splinters. See Tactics of Mistake. This book is very much of its time (originally published in 1967). It tells its story from the perspective of a man who is nearly completely amoral, indifferent to the needs of anyone else except how it impacts his own needs. Unfortunately he tells his story in a very flat, nearly monotonous fashion as little he faces causes him to become enthusiastic or fearful or sympathetic. It's taken me a good 30 years to finally finish it because it is exactly the kind of thing I don't like; I only bothered to keep trying because it's considered a classic. I think it deserves the accolade 'classic' because it was revolutionary when it was first published, but nowadays it would have a difficult time finding a market. This book is a little different, in that the superman depicted is in this case a supervillain. With his basic supermanipulationcharisma abilities he isn't throwing cars around, but can cause some really bad military conflicts. Set in the 23rd century, that are quite a few colonised worlds and a few different cultural/political groupings for him to cause havoc on as the Dorsai and others try to stop him. http://superprose.blogspot.com/2007/0... no reviews | add a review
