Classic Varley! While not part of his "Eight Worlds" future history, it shares much of the same background. The characters are fantastic and Varley's future tech is, as always, stunning.

Highly entertaining. However, it really drags in places and it took all my endurance to finish. Glad I did, though!

Another great book from my favorite sci-fi writer. John Varley is so inventive and creative -- also really interesting in person if you get a chance to meet him, maybe at a book-signing. I started in 1980 with the Titan/Demon/Wizard trilogy, and have read all of his books since then. Highly recommended! Try also his short stories -- A Persistence of Vision, The Barbie Murders, etc.

This book was fantastic. I hadn't read John Varley before, but having read this I'm very much looking forward to reading more of his "Eight Worlds" series. It was very interesting to me reading about the techological advancements from people living on the moon.
Very interesting - the plot was very original.
