An amazing hard scifi tale, this is the second in an action-packed series from Edelman. ...With so much mass-media science fiction featuring anti-science heroes who battle to stop science from 'going too far,' it's great to read a really smart novel about a hero who's fighting to save scientific progress from being suppressed. David Louis Edelman's MultiReal, the second volume in the trilogy that begins with Infoquake,is a welcome cure to the Fringe/Eleventh Hour science-bashing, even though it presents both the pro- and con- arguments about radical progress. But MultiReal is also way more entertaining than the science bashers.

Yep, these 2 books were wonderful! They definitely made my Top 10 Books That I Have Read list for 2008. Waiting for the next installment.
ReplyDeleteWhen the last book comes out, I know that I will consider the series as ONE book, even though they are 3 books, and will base my final assessment on them as one book. Fair? Don't know. But let's face it, I know that is what I'll do.
Congrats Lou & David & Martiniere on producing a most enjoyable trilogy! And Happy New Year!
