(urth) Evil Guest Reviewed in Washington Post SF Roundup

[aaron]

For me, _An Evil Guest_ started out as a real page turner and kept my
interest all the way through.  And I usually become bored with books in a
very short time.  Wolfe and Jack Vance are two writers who almost always
keep me reading.  So for me, I do not agree with the latter review.
