<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>D. Douglas Fratz, reviewing Richard Morgan's "The
Steel Remains", said:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But for me the best example of this subgenre can be found in the work of
Gene Wolfe, beginning with his <EM>Book of the New Sun</EM> novels, fantasy
novels set in a remote but very imaginable future that have the gritty realism
of the best science fiction.</DIV>
<DIV>
<P>Richard K. Morgan is clearly mining Wolfe territory, and that is fine
territory indeed. </P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Has anyone here read the book and, if so, is the
reviewer's comparison with Wolfe accurate?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>The Kovac's novels didn't strike me as at all
Wolfean.</FONT></P>
