Martin, thanks for the nice review. I usually like McDonald, but
bogged down badly in BRASYL, and abandoned it.

Yeah, that's what did me in, the dull "Heart of Darkness" pastiche. I
might have come back, but it was a library copy, and my to-read stack
is unusually large now, so the hell with it. YMMV.

BTW, I've been absent from rasfw lately because the persistent DOS
asshole has made GG (even more) worthless -- I lost my usenet feed in
an ISP chg, and haven't set up another. news.individual.net is still
around, yes?

Best for 2008, Pete Tillman
