Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0575075414, Paperback)In a feat of extraordinary imagination, Adam Roberts creates a universe in which a breathable atmosphere extends out between the planets, aristocrats cruise interstellar space in biplanes, Skywhals make mysterious distant orbits, and a fruitless war has dragged on for years. With bravura plotting, Roberts presents two universes, challenging our very notions of reality. (retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:15 -0400) The first test round has been closed.

It doesn't end well, and his uncle is then murdered, leaving him alone and in charge. On finding his uncle's scientific involvement in computer science led him into military work, Polystom decides to join the war on Mudworld and command a platoon.
What he finds there, in the way of computer science literally shakes his faith in reality.
A little reminiscent of [The Miocnene Arrow], but a lot simpler.
