Night of Power

Rating:
Summary: Wild journey into the night of black Manhattan...
Review: "Night Of Power" is based in Manhattan, in a nebulous futurewhere smog is serious enough to cause people to live in domes and racial violence has increased beyond anyone's worst nightmares. What would you do if confronted with a racewar? More than that, what would you do if stuck on Manhattan Island while it is being taken over? This is a twisted tale into the minds of a caucasian family as they struggle their way through the Manhattan suburbs, on this Night of Power. Well worth the read!

Summary: Insightful and thought provoking.
Review: I recently re-read "Night of Power" - a few weeks after the tragedy of Sept. 11 in NYC. I'd always felt the events in Spider's book to be insightful, but somehow... in the light of real life events, it was almost too painful to read. But still, as with most of Spider's works, it ends with hope. After it's all over, there's hope. We need to keep working toward that end.

Summary: Night of Power too close to the truth.
Review: This is one of Hugo and Nebula award winning author, Spider Robinson's earliest books. The American-born author, now living in Canada paints a grim but possibly accurate picture of the possible future between white and African Americans. As with all of Robinson's books, the characterisation is excellent and the plot well developed. An excellent story that holds you until the last page.
