A Storytelling Machine

John DeNardo posts his SFSignal Review of Mike Resnick's Ivory: A Legend of Past and Future.He gives it a full five stars and says, "These are the kinds of well-told stories that make reading such a pleasure... Masterful storytelling; realistic characters; wonderful dialogue." He calls Mike "a storytelling machine" and Ivory "a thoroughly engaging read." John compares it to Mike's Kirinyaga,a book which is among my Top Ten favorite SF Novels of All Time, and I think that's a good comparison. I felt when I first read Ivory that it made a good companion read with that work, and they certainly look good together on my shelf.
