Title: Spectacular
Product review: I've been a fan of Steven Barnes for years. However in "Lion's Blood", Barnes has created his masterpiece. The story centers around two young men, Aidin and Kai, each about the same age and each from different cultures. In this Alternate history Whites are slaves, and Blacks are the masters. One of the themes that you will see when reading Barnes solo novels (and also in some of his joint efforts) is the development of trust between people of different races. They learn to find the commonalities between them instead of focusing on the differences.Barnes manages to decry slavery and point out the inherent evil of it without condemning those on either side as completely evil, or completely good.Bravo Mr. Barnes.It's been a long time since Steven has published a solo novel. This extremely well written and well researched novel is well worth the wait.
