Summary: A must have
Comment: Take the chance and embark on a long journey with David Wingrove. You will not be let down. Problem is, you will see nothing of your friends or family for the next three months.
But, that is what you are looking for in a book, isn't it?

Summary: MORE CHUNG KUO
Comment: OK, worked through Book 3 of the Chung Kup septology. Earth with 30 billion inhabitants is reduced to only a handful who seem to influence all events. Speaking as a technoid, it is disappointing a description of the technology needed to support such a society is passed off and very limited. However, the charachterizations seem to follow John D. Macdonald's advice to make the good guys a little bad and the bad guys a little good. So, overall better than a Star Trek episode. Coming onto 10 years on, did these books sell well?

Summary: There's a delicious irony to this series
Comment: Mao Tse Tung's vaunted "Cultural Revolution" was supposed to be the Chinese application of the Marxist ideal of the victory of the working class, but Wingrove's depiction in this series of a Chinese Imperial world culture in the 22nd Century footnotes poor ole Chaiman Mao as "the first Ko Ming emperor". All of that holier-than-thou Victory of the Proletariat noise in the Manifesto and the "Red Book", only to have it result in totalitarian regimes just about everywhere it's applied in this century, and then in a couple hundred years, history views it as just another dynasty. To quote a Dean Martin lyric: "Ain't that a kick in the head"
