I liked this book despite its misogynistic sensibility. It was really good while it stayed a sausage fest and lost momentum when it brought in a female character whose main purpose seemed to be to make men fall in love with her. Granted, the book was published in 1984 and takes place after WWII, but it still could have been much more enlightened in its treatment of woman. Otherwise, the basic premise of the book is very original and the prose is terrific. This book won the 1984 British Sci Fi Award and the 1985 World Fantasy Award.
