New Worl Order - 2007/06/29 01:01 I cannot make ny particularly erudite comment about Jeapes' novel which I found impressive and enjoyable - and much overlooked, but I would love to know what other readers thought of it.

Re:New Worl Order - 2007/06/30 00:21 I found it overloaded, personally. Anachronistic tech, magic and Neanderthals; it just seemed a little bit too much. I was also a little baffled as to how a society with a functional system of magic - or psionics, or whatever you want to call it - and a resultantly powerful priesthood managed, and indeed needed, to be technologically more advanced than one without.

There were bits that I liked, though, especially the opening scene where the advantages of the Holekhor rifles are completely countered by the fact that the English haven't got a clue how to use them.

And the airships, of course.
