     Kevin O'Donnell ahs written two other books, that have been around 
for at least 3 years; I dont know if they predate the ones that have 
been mentioned here already.

     One is Bandersnatch, about a post-economic disaster (I think)
world, and a street-gang-leader within it named Bander Snatch (that is
NOT Mr. Snatch). I thought it was a fantastic book on the first reading,
but it didnt strike me as well on the second; I have no Idea why.

     The other book is War of Omission, and made me terribly depressed.
It is a variant on the standard Marvelous New effect that gets Turned Into
A Weapon that No One Knows How To Handle. Im not sure how the basic premise
will sit with most people, but it works well if you accept it. I have not
read this one a second time; I dont like getting depressed.

have fun
