Beginning book af new series.An exiting blend of futuristic science fiction and fantasy. I hope this book becomes a movie. I can wait for the rest of the series.

This is Ringo at his best. Briliantly imaginative with stuff right out of left field- but believable. The fighting is brutal, furious, and heroic. (Bad guys are REALLY bad guys, and good guys are comfortably good guys.) I kept waiting for the Dragons, but this is really a book about the enduring nature of Humanity- sort of. (A sexy elf with a bow is an important character, as are The Changed.) How do high-tech people survive when the "tech" dissapears? Ringo's got a grip. Really good stuff. I have ordered the rest of the series already from PBS.

Terrific premise (world order maintained by mysterious cyborgs, human nature redeemed by historicists) and masterful construction (many characters and plotlines in play but not overly episodic). But it still left me cold. Maybe because there's no one particularly likeable in this cast of characters.
