ppint. 2nd Apr 2024		Book M. A. Foster - The Warriors Of Dawn	yr hmbl srppnt. needs to re-read ''the day of the klesh'' a second time, to be certain whether the ler series truly constitutes a thematic trilogy, or rests an absorbing but unbalanced series whose focus shifts so greatly, that the theme is fractured beyond the point of achieving more over-all than the sum of its parts. i didn't consider it for inclusion in holocaus^W happy hamlyn paperbacks' sf & fantasy list, because hamlyn paperbacks was collapsed by its incompetent mangling-director walter clare before the question arose; but it'd've been a certainty. this is a good-to-very good novel, in a good-to-very good series, which it is as well as the introduction of a unique concept into science fiction; i'm just not certain/convinced the series actually remains centered upon the twin underlying conceptual themes of the first two books.
