He was possessed by an entirely different muse when he wrote the short and whimsical Made Things which I just loved. Overall I enjoyed The Doors of Eden; a couple days, a fair adventure, and a lot of book for the money ($11,tradepaperback,597pages).

I am a big proponent of diversity but Rove is a banal, one dimensional (izzat a pun? I kinda wish the opening of the story had followed Mel and thumbs into the Birdmen world, rather than dwell with Lee in the thumbful London. This wasn’t so ponderous as, but recognizably the author of, Children of Time.

Was it coincident that the primitive intellects and the foremost intellects didn’t have thumbs and weren’t inclined to coercion? That would have confounded the set up I spose but a few more pages coulda been fun.

) bad guy and the humans tend to be white Brits though, at least, not all binary. I do appreciate that Tchaikovsky didn’t make this entirely human-centric, though it is very nearly so.
