I'm a huge fan of [a:Adrian Tchaikovsky|1445909|Adrian Tchaikovsky|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1282303363p2/1445909.jpg], and I usually love his amazing creativity and literate writing style, but this one was just not for me.

Hopefully it will be published in North America soon, but in the meantime you can order it from The Book Depository no matter where you live.
