I honestly don't know. I've heard about it, and have no desire
to read it. It could be that I'm put off by the classical
allusions, present even in the titles. Heavy-handed references
to THE CLASSICS usually signal a pompous and self-important
author. Not that I'm saying Simmons is, but I have no desire
to risk finding out.
