"Words are like weapons...they wound sometimes" - Cher (If I Could Turn Back Time)
That's what this book is about, weaponizing language, putting together words that control, that manipulate, words that can kill. I was surprised how thrilling this book was, never having read any of his books. The tension kept ratcheting up and up as the two plotlines twisted around each other to the point you're not sure who's the hero and who's the villain. 5 ?

It's hard to believe this was published one year before the better known meteor novel, Lucifer's Hammer. While the Niven/Pournelle novel was like an Irwin Allen disaster movie, this was much smaller, following a smaller group of people trying to survive a killer meteor storm. It's so quaint and "English" it feels like something written in the 1950s. 3 ??? 1/2
