Proteus Combined

Rating:
Summary: Top notch sci-fi, Sheffield at his best
Review: Charles Sheffield is perhaps the best science fiction writer actively writing today, especially if (like me) you disdain fantasy sci-fi. The two novels in this paperback both introduce a joyful litany of great concepts, great plot, and great characters skillfully interwoven. Sheffield not only comes up with earth-shaking ideas, like form changing for humans, he works out the practical details. The effect is complete believability for the reader. The moment you finish this book, you'll want to then read "Proteus in the Underworld". (Charles: write more! Please!)
