Review

Praise for L.E. Modesitt, Jr.

"Modesitt's abundant novelistic virtues -- great characters and plotting, impressive attention to detail -- aside: this is smart, aware, provocative, and engrossing on several political, economic, and professional levels."
--_Kirkus, s_tarred review on _Flash

_"Nonstop action, which . . . never sidelines good world-building and characterization. . . . A marvelous thriller that plausibly extrapolates from current possibilities in IT, AI, media, and crime, it also constitutes the way for newcomers to get acquainted with Modesitt-at his best."
--_Booklist on Flash

_"Thoughtful SF readers will appreciate this weighty tale of humanitarian intentions and social speculations.�
�_Publishers Weekly_ on _Ethos Effect

_�If you�re seeking space battles and diplomatic intrigue within a well though-out universe then Modesitt delivers in patches.�
--_Vector_ on _Ethos Effect

_�Modesitt has outdone himself . . . This brilliant novel is as thought provoking as it is entertaining.�
--_Publisher Weekly_, starred review on Archform: Beauty
