  • I’m curious. What did you think of Brian Francis Slattery’s effort? It sounded right up your alley.

  • I liked it quite a bit. Been too busy at work for me to have reviewed it when I would have liked, but perhaps in the next few weeks I’ll scan back over it and write a short post on it and a few others that I want to review at length, like Felix Gilman’s Thunderer.
