One of the Major SF Books of 2007

Nick Gevers weighs in on Ian McDonald's forthcoming Brasyl in the April edition of Locus magazine:

"McDonald conveys quite brilliantly the prodigious energy and fecundity of Brazil as it is and could be. ...Brasyl is a feast of fine prose, an able political novel, and an intriguing experiment in cross-temporal storytelling and implication. ...it is without doubt one of the major SF books of 2007."
