Not my favorite John Varley book, but that's a pretty darn high bar. It was still a compelling and terrific read.
Just like a ton of other dystopian, fall of civilization novels. The EMP cause was a bit interesting, but the writing itself was meh. It's also sort of heavy on the “Red Dawn” like NRA propaganda.
What a fantastic book. I can't recommend it enough. Enjoyable, thought-provoking, and unpredictable. I really loved it. My new favorite book of 2016.
I've re-read this book once a year or so since it came out. It stays as enjoyable every time.
