I read and reviewed Explorers of the New Century on Amazon.com and agree with the author of the article about the reviewer that gives the plot away prematurely, which is against the site's review guidelines. In any case, this book is a clever handling of a pervasive dilemma and society's attempt to legislate differences. The denouement took me by surprise, left me thinking long after I was finished. It was great to see this book noted on Salon; it deserves a wide audience. The furthest point from civilization may truly be the the furthest point from the human capacity for inclusion and acceptance. Luansos/ 3/29/6
Just finished reading it. Very enjoyable and profound in places. Don't read any of the (other) reviews- be warned.
Funnily enough, Miller's review did just the right amount of piquing my curiousity without giving the game away. That must have been a technically difficult one to write.
