Needless to say, Melko's other works are on order and high up in my queue..

It's the kind of novel that seems designed to trip the pleasure-sensors in my brain; it's fast moving, with well-worked out speculation, characters I can identify with, and with a retro-vibe, too. A most excellent novel. I read THE WALLS OF THE UNIVERSE last weekend, and was very, very impressed by it.

I was pretty satisfied with the whole thing. I think people will really enjoy it. I got an ARC of this and read it about a month ago. I was pretty satisfied with the whole thing.

My htlm-fu is weak.) In fact, that comic is how I found OMW too. Awesome Big Idea!
