This was published while he was still writing Emerald Eyes. I wonder if he realized how quickly his life was about to change?

It's a remarkable first book. which I'd expected, since I was already familiar with him as an author from various short stories in the SF magazines. It has the feel and breadth of many of Hunter S. Thompson's works (unsurprising, of course), and it's still one of his best. ( )

Another highly entertaining novel from Moran. This author has a real knack for fleshing out memorable and truly unique characters, and both Jalian and Georges clearly fit this bill. Moran also paces his novels well, building momentum that makes it nearly impossible to put the book down as you near the end. My only real quibble with the book was an ending that left me somewhat confused, even after reading it twice.

If you are a fan of fast paced scifi adventure stories, and you haven't tried Moran, seek out his often hard to find books. That's what abebooks.com is for, right? ( )
