A faily interesting book. Good technological extrapolation. Also, as Joe Bob might put it, 40 gallons of blood, some kung-fu, a couple of car-type chases ( in a tricky environment), some kinky sex.... Check it out. This author was included in a recent 'Best of' anthology(sorry. I cannot remember where! The ravages of age...); title was "Black ICE". If you have a short attention span, find and read this. -- Fritz Benedict (512)471-4461x448 uucp: {...seismo,decvax}!noao!utastro!fritz arpa: fritz@ut-ngp snail: Astronomy, U of Texas, Austin, TX 78712
