Summary: Burning Bright is about the future of gaming
Review: Gamers will recognize the dungeon and dragons quality of this future world where scenes from a known set of characters are acted out across galaxies while a gamesmasters on a politically repressive planet is threatened in "real life". Game play and "real life" play mix creditibly here to create an fabric of tales and backdrops that are also tales.

Summary: Fun book & great gaming system
Review: In this book instead of pro sports everyone takes part in a great inter stellar virtual reality game that is awesome. U can tell that the author is really into gaming and she describes the whole gaming system so that you feel like your playing in it yourself. Very highly recommended.

Summary: Wonderful
Review: This is quite a wonderful book. Intriguing characters, a good plot, an unusual world-view (yes, there are some sci-fi cliches but they do not interfere much with the story, i think) and good details to keep this futuristic world real for you. I read it with great interest, and would like to keep on reading any new books from Melissa Scott.
