Title: If John Varley hadn't written this, it would deserve 4 stars
Product review: Virginia sez:I was thrilled when I learned that John Varley had written a new book--I bought it immediately, and started reading it the day it arrived. It was a fun book, and I enjoyed reading it, but it just came nowhere near what I've come to expect from Varley. The characters were two-dimensional, especially by the standards of the rest of Varley's work, and the deus ex machina of the drive technology of the ship irritated me. If this is the first of Varley's books you've read, you're in for a real treat when you pick up Wizard or Steel Beach and see what he's really capable of.
