Faction Paradox: The Book of the War

Rating:
Summary: A Dictionary-Novel extraordinaire!
Review: Much like Milorad Pavic's _Dictionary of the Khazars_, this is a Dictionary-Novel incredible in it's complexity and execution. The novel is about groups of time-traveling cultures engaged in a War to rewrite history to their own ends. Although this may sound silly, the intelligent prose of the authors and the rich structure of the plot make this book a great reading, not only to sci-fi fans, but for all good-literature lovers.
It is also a deep reflextion on our own culture, values and conceptions. I would recommend this book to anyone who's looking to try for something different.
