Yet another of last year’s Clarion faculty has had a book reviewed in the slimmed-down Books section of the San Diego Union-Tribune.  This time, it’s Walter Jon Williams’ newest novel, Implied Spaces, reviewed in Jim Hopper’s ‘Eccentric Orbits’ column:

Suspend your disbelief. It’s not hard here in the multiple worlds of Walter Jon Williams’ newest novel. Begin with a traveling swordsman, accompanied by a talking cat, walking across a high arid desert. Aristide, the swordsman, nudges the travelers stranded at a caravanserai past their fear of the bandits lurking ahead. A trek and a battle ensue; Aristide’s sword Tecmessa, edged with the huge energies of a wormhole, is instrumental in beating the bandits and their human-sacrificing priests.

Nice review.  For more on the book, including links to other positive reviews, check out Walter’s blog.
