A refreshing change..

Anachronisms by Christopher Hinz This book caught me off guard. A sleeper hit! I was particularly impressed by the concept of software sentinels. As an engineer, I can appreciate Christopher Hinz' foresight into the requirement of stringent levels of software security - something very likely to develop in the way he envisioned it in his book. Christopher Hinz style is very technical and precise. Perhaps he was experimenting with it in this novel, as his others books are different. A rather refreshing change. The book's treatment of psychic phenomena was a treat. A more thoughtful approach that made the story intriguing, and not a re-hash of old ideas. If you like a different book, of similar genre to Gene Roddenberry's ideas with a more techno-psi-twist to it, you'll probably want to read it. And then wonder.. when the next book in the series will be coming out..? Toni
