Ah, still getting a kick out of Hough's Easter eggs! Take the name Alia Valix. Alia is the sister of Paul Atreides in the Dune series. Valix is similar to Valis, the title of a PKD novel. The context of the Alia character and the novel Valis are apropos to the character in Zero World, for sure! So far, a good read beyond the Easter eggs!

So far, so good. Great writing, interesting characterization. But coolest of all was the use of a Queensryche lyric on the very first page. Awesome to see a bit of Operation: Mindcrime in a novel, never seen that before! Very apropos considering the nature of the main character's implant and choice of career. Mr. Hough, and Peter Caswell by extension, have excellent taste is music! This was a nice little Easter egg!
