Re: April's Astonishing, Astounding (and Sometimes Overpowering) Adventures in Readin

Completed Necromancer, by Gordon R. Dickson. I didn’t care for Dorsai at all, but comments by j.d. and others encouraged me to read more. I wasn’t too impressed by the first half or so of this one. It was a bit dated and too metaphysical for my taste in general. But persistence paid off in this case. The story really came together in the later part of the book. I think it is a lot better than Dorsai. I rate this one a 6, or maybe 7, out of 10. It will be interesting to see if Dickson’s work continues to improve as I work through the series.
