Coalescent

My stance on this book is one I feel for many first novels--why aren't the editors giving some guidance here? There is a good book in Vellum, but someone needed to make Hal sit down and write a book outline *after* he'd finished and then rework the book so that the thread actually went through the entire cloth. Vellum is written the way Hal thinks: fireworks at Dawn. In fact, there are some string resemblances to Charlie Stross's more manc productions.
