    This novel was my first exposure to WJW. I gobbled it up, despite its
    generally depressing events. He just kind of pulled me along.

    I can't think, off-hand, of any of his works that I haven't liked; just
    some that I don't have yet.

    My favourites are Metropolitan, City on Fire, Hardwired and Aristoi. I
    Have also enjoyed the space opera series, Praxis and Dread Empire's Fall. However, I bounced off Solip System and Quilifier so read no more of his.

    I'll have to issue a retraction here. I intensely disliked the Dread Empire stuff, and also _The Rift_.

    Well, I did say, "I can't think, off-hand".

    Always use apostrophe's and "quotation marks" properly.
