Review

John Clute, THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE FICTION 'His best stories surge forward with tremendous energy, each one avid to find some extrapolated consequence of its premise which will startle and challenge the reader.'

This review is from: Sundiver (Paperback)

There certainly are not too many murder mysteries set in the middle of the sun! A man must try to solve what is going on with a killer, as well as keep the diplomatic peace and all this entails. Preventaging sabotage while somewhere that is, shall we say, a little on the hot side, is a high priority for people as well. The ending, denoument, and epilogue is a little odd, but the environment is very interesting.
