To me, Varley sort of has two different writing styles... his "old" style and his "new", as I call them. The old style includes many of his Eight Worlds stories like Steel Beach and Golden Globe and his Gaian Trilogy... the new style has the first two books in this trilogy and Mammoth. The new style is still very good and very enjoyable, more accessible than the old style, but just different. This book, however, felt like a good balance between his old style and new style, and the end result, while still accessible like his more recent novels, really had an old school Varley feel to it. And that is not a bad thing... not in the least.]]>
