Not many writers can tackle genocide, women's rights, and class warfare as neatly -- and wryly -- as the author does here.

The story takes a while to get rolling, as Cline lets Wade introduce the world, but its measured pace and easy-to-spot villains and heroes also make the book an excellent entry-level sf novel for more mainstream readers.

Life During Wartime is masterfully written, taking what could have been a perfectly adequate war story and expanding it to encompass the fate of the world as well as the main character's soul.

Somers writes with assurance and style. This is fun, cyberpunky noir SF with just the right mix of fatalism and attitude, seasoned with plenty of bullets and black comedy.

In either edition, this book is a grand way to dip into Pratchett, if you've somehow missed him, or to revisit the Discworld for a short stay, if you unfortunately haven't time for a longer one.
