I enjoyed this but have a number of reservations. The alternate world setting
is well described and the hero satidfactorily portrayed. The basic plot is a
relatively simple one but this becomes overly complicated by a side plot
which does almost take over the book. The concept of mutants living in
some sort of harmony with 'normal' people is interesting but the author does
go overboard in the number of variations he produces - and this detracts
rather than adds to the effect. The book has a sub-title 'A Punktown Novel'
so presumably is one of a series (I note that opposite the title page one of the
listed titles is 'Punktown'). My criticisms will not prclude my trying another
of the books at some time.
