I requested this book from Shelf Awareness, but never got it. It doesn't sound like I missed much.

Hmm, sounds like one to miss!

For a moment I though this was the Hickman who wrote the Dragonlance series (a secret favourite of mine, despite its many flaws) -- I'm relieved to find that one hasn't suddenly gotten a bit worse!

I like the Carnation series, but I might not like this if the present-day story is a total dud. However, it sounds fun. I'm all for political intrigue.
