Q&D non-review (since my real review is promised to a zine elsewhere...)
I'm halfway through footfall ($17.95, 500 pages, more or less) and I'm
enjoying it. Well thought out, well plotted, decent characters, and pretty
cleanly edited. A lot of work has gone into this book, and it is at least
as good as Mote in God's Eye, which I consider their best collaboration. If
they don't blow the ending, they have a real winner. After a string of blah
to worse books, they are definitely back on the right track. Hope they keep
up the good work.

The offices were very nice, and the clients were only raping the land, and
then, of course, there was the money...
