Wonderful lagniappage!
ReplyDeleteThanks much!
I am not much of a short story fan, but might have to pick this up considering how much I love Michael Flynn.
ReplyDeleteAs for Flynn and global warming - have you ever read "Fallen Angels" which Flynn co-authored with Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven? It had a plot point concerning global warming which i thought was pretty funny.
As for the book itself, it is an enjoyable read as you would expect from such a supergroup of authors.
I have NOT read Fallen Angels but you have piqued my interest. That is like having a Supergroup writing. :-)
