Theme-wise it's fairly close to what you describe, only not boring. Tim Send a noteboard - 19/04/2010 08:02:16 PM
I'm a firm believer that a talented author can write a great book within any "genre" that appeals to readers who don't normally like that genre.

Let me know what you think of Snow Crash.
Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt.
