Less fun than previous books, with a bit of a predictable ending. Still some good ideas, though.

(Not "Black Grass", as the synopsis in the next book calls it!)

Tad Williams, "City of Golden Shadow"

A sprawling cyberpunk mystery. The author's clearly in for the long haul here: this is the first of four in the series, and it ends on a cliffhanger. I don't think it's really doing anything novel, but it's got lots of good bits; the South African setting is unusual and works well. I do wish the antagonists were a bit less cartoonishly evil, though...
