I read for review on SF Mistressworks. I forget where I stumbled across mention of this novel, and with a publication year of 2000 it only just sneaks into SF Mistressworks’s remit, but it looked intriguing enough for me to buy a cheap copy on eBay… which proved to be a bit tattier than expected. Ah well. Not a keeper anyway. As should be clear from my review here: https://sfmistressworks.wordpress.com/2016/04/20/murphys-gambit-syne-mitchell/ ( )

best throwaway line ever: "it's only rocket science!"
This is my personal favorite of Syne's SF books to date. ( )
