EDITORIAL REVIEW: Steely-eyed Lord Noah Kincade is accustomed to having the upper hand - but everything changes when his wealth and social standing are cut out from under him.

What he doesn't count on is one stunning hellion of a woman. Cecelia Demorest hates aristocrats, particularly the insufferable Brits who frequent her Boston home. Her father may be a loyal subject, but Cecilia is wholly American, and her thoughts are consumed with the current unrest. The last thing she wants is to run into her father's newest associate - until she does. Now Cecilia can't stop thinking about Noah Kincade's penetrating gaze...and how she'd like to get the best of him in every way.

The setting of Niven’s 1984 novel The Integral Trees was striking and imaginative, even for this acclaimed world builder; it’s well worth the second visit made in this sequel. Around a neutron star an envelope of gas holds a breathable atmosphere and a strange profusion of plant and animal life, all floating in free-fall. Five hundred years after the crew of the Earth ship Discipline mutinied and deserted to this paradise, their descendants are still watched over by the ship’s unbalanced computer mind. The machine is busy manipulating its one small contact group into exploring the larger city they have been avoiding for years. Aspects of this society are intriguing: for instance, the disdain of the better-adapted taller, thinner people for the “dwarfish” throwbacks, even though only the short can fit into the scientific relics of the old ship. As usual with Niven, character and story are just an excuse for working out the properties of his wonderful imaginary world, where people can fly like birds and ponds full of fish hang in midair. Unfortunately, in this book he fails to marshal the visual and dramatic flair needed to show it off to best effect.

The author informs us that he has been a potter and a stained-glass designer for about fifteen years. He is married and enjoys sailing, gardening, and Al computer art. His story «Click» was a prizewinner in the Writers of the Future contest, and it was printed in the contest’s second anthology. Currently, he is working on a novel and, hopefully, a couple of short stories for Amazing Stories.(July 1987)
