<h3>Review:</h3>
<p>This book has an interesting history: take a Clarke short story, try to tun it into a text adventure game, fail, then pad it into a novel.<br /><br />Paul Preuss is a decent writer, and it is, really quite a bit more staisfying (as a story) than Clarke's original (I re-read it afterwards, to see if I remembered it correctly).</p>
