Title: Can you find this story?
Product review: I'm not very familiar with Hogan's works, though I have enjoyed some of his collaborations. This is one of the very, again, very, few books I simply didn't want to finish. The social structure he describes for the Kronians is simply too laboured to be believable even in context. The story itself is buried under the mass of verbiage used to describe the social, historical, and scientific setting of Hogan's, er, uh story(?). It may be that a platoon of Reader's Digest Condensed Book editors could have made this tome readable, but then it would have been, at best, a novella or perhaps no more than a short story.
