"Future America is ruled partly by a Mafia-like mob and partly by a more benign organization referred to as "the fat, sloppy, happy Syndic." An enjoyable adventure story with satirical barbs and an underlying darkness of tone." - Pringle, The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction, second edition (1995), p. 360. Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-612. Survey of Science Fiction Literature V, pp. 2211-14.

(#156654).
