Silverlock - Silverlock, Bk 1 Author:John Myers Myers A note from the editor... — Don't put this book down...until you have read the introductions by Poul Anderson, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. Seldom has a book received such high and unsolicited praise from masters of the genre. Never in my experience as an editor have I been surrounded by some of the people I respect most ... more »in the field and been told in no uncertain terms that it is my duty to bring a book before the public. Given my respect bordering on awe for the persons involved, I agreed. I didn't think they would break both my arms if I refused.
Still, this was a first for me; generally I prefer to read a book before making such a commitment - and I did indeed read it as soon as possible. Within a few pages my duty had become my pleasure, then a sheer treat, then mind-boggled delight...followed at the end by a wistful sadness that never again would I come all-unawares on a book called SILVERLOCK.
