...politics lend resonance to the battles that occur, often taking center stage. The interpersonal dynamics between the various Transformers are handled in a credible fashion that restore realism to the most unrealistic scenarios. This not to imply that action is given short shrift, for the fighting is frequent and furious. Nor does the action serve some obligatory masturbatory fix; he cleverly avoids the tedium that accompanies extended battle scenes by subordinating them to the plot. The novel maintains a fantastic tension throughout, with just the right number of pauses to let the reader catch his breath. The tone is spot...

...lives in an old farmhouse in the country with his wife and two children. Every morning at 4 or 5, Emmett goes downstairs, lights a fire and sits by it, "the sole node of wakefulness at the heart of the sleeping world." He thinks about small, inconsequential things: the furious way his pet duck pecks at a frozen log "as if she were Teletyping a wire service story on it" or the "sudden howl of light" when he opens his refrigerator in the middle of the night. He thinks about "the lovely turquoise exudate, electrical lichen," that forms around...
