isbn: 1857238338 won a gong in 1996, surprisingly this book is also a series, and shockingly my library could obtain it, something that will become an issue for libraries who are not buying books at the present time,   That is another blog post though.

Its genre and instead of leading events it plays catch up with a post communist 1990′s europe.  The author is suitability overqualified in zoology to be out of hs depth and the non fiction on communist europe is impressive, mind you reading this book in 2011 does not help.

.In echo’s of the moon is a harsh mistress the author gets to debate the right left wing methodology for peace,love and happiness amongst evil un and americans trying to keep the planet suppressed.  It is also great for buzz word bingo i got bonus points for east timor – house*.

The books characters are jarring, and feel incomplete, the ending feels rushed and edited in sets up book two which did not impress me.  Its a shame that s/f once a explorer of the new [authors like Philip K Dick] can do this and the relatively newer set are told to do things in series of books and have to then current events to inspire
