Across Realtime
Copyright 1984 by
Vernor Vinge
I first read this on the 9th April 2004 and most recently on the 1st June 2009
Well first of all this is a con, a trick, a perversion of
publishing principles. Look at the review on the back cover
"It's one of the best SF novels of the year".
Ha!
And I bought it, like a fool.
What it is of course, is the two classic novels
"The Peace War" and "Marooned In Realtime" republished as
a single book - not a bad idea in itself - but there is
no mention anywhere that this is the case.
The cover -front and back - presents it simply as a single
new novel.
Of course it's great, but that's beside the point, since
I'd already bought the two novels it republishes.
Loaded on the 23rd March 2011.
