It’s a decent book. 3.5 for Goodreads is actually pretty respectable.

The problem is that it’s a decent book from Varley, the guy who wrote Titan/Wizard/Demon and Overdrawn at the Memory Bank. Hell, he wrote the whole of the Eight World “series”. He’s won the Hugo 3 times. Average is a disappointment.
