Who could not like the gabbleduck ?!
Asher's universe is really quite amazing. Complex. Coherent (as far as I cared to look). Very, very violent. But positive.
Positive ? I mean, it's mostly the bad guys who suffer the violence. And there's usually a happy -- or at least satisfying -- ending.
It's also nice to have a universe where humanity rules... Well, humanity and AIs... though I have to admit... humanity is no longer constrained by the original model. Made in *whose* image ?!
