sagauthor's review against another edition

Old fashioned space opera. The big ideas made the read more enjoyable to me. The idea of entities which can maneuver their space craft on the horizon of a black hole is intriguing. I would have liked to know more about those creatures whose story is so important to the book.
It was an interesting idea that most people live over 100, so people who are in their 20s are considered irresponsible kids. The only criticism I have for the book is the romances. All the romantic relationships seemed to mirror each other. Next time the author should write variety into his romances.
This book is suitable for anyone high school and older. Very hard science oriented, so beware.

This book was almost okay.
The story would have been better if someone in it had tripped and fallen face forward into a personality.
Not my cuppa Sci-fi!

Wil McCarthy is a very engaging and imaginative writer. "Flies from the Amber" is one of his earlier books from 15 years ago. "To Crush the Moon" and "Collapsium" are even better, but this early book is solid and both fun and serious at the same time. I hope he starts writing again soon.
