Certainly wild and with plenty of the typical Garrett ridiculousness, but a little too gratuitous and unfocused for me. I’m also not sure why, but this printing was absolutely full of typos—lots of f’s became r’s, lots of missing periods, lots of mis ...more

Drew McCaffrey and 1 other person liked Matthew's review of Metal from Heaven: "Started promising, and then progressively lost my interest. One top GR review called the book “blurry” and that’s a great way to describe it. Just didn’t feel as polished and it hindered the reading experience a bit. "

Drew’s Quotes

“We believe that we invent symbols. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges. When soldiers take their oath they are given a coin, an asimi stamped with the profile of the Autarch. Their acceptance of that coin is their acceptance of the special duties and burdens of military life—they are soldiers from that moment, though they may know nothing of the management of arms. I did not know that then, but it is a profound mistake to believe that we must know of such things to be influenced by them, and in fact to believe so is to believe in the most debased and superstitious kind of magic. The would-be sorcerer alone has faith in the efficacy of pure knowledge; rational people know that things act of themselves or not at all.”
― Gene Wolfe, Shadow & Claw
