In the Afterword to FURIOUS GULF (Bantam Spectra), Gregory Benford states: "The concluding volume of this series is now in sight. I promise to have it done and published within a year of this book's appearance. I may venture back into this universe in the future, if the impulse occurs, but the plot and lines of reasoning should be intact and resolved by the end of the next novel." Maximum kudos to Benford for making such an unqualified commitment to delivering maximum value to his readers. More authors and publishers should follow his example.
It is now apparent that this series of interconnected novels that began with IN THE OCEAN OF NIGHT and is continued in this year's FURIOUS GULF is going to be one of the major accomplishments in science fiction in this century. Highly recommended.
