Couldn't agree with you more on Apollo. So great. I wouldn't have minded if it had been twice as long.

I do enjoy your book reviews. I was surprised to discover that Charles Murray wrote the Apollo book. This is the same Murray who was co-author of the Bell Curve and wrote several controversial socio-political books since then.

I can't decide about the Poul Anderson book. I read a lot of SF, but I've never liked Poul Anderson, although I can't remember what I have disliked about his books. From your description, the universe sounds kind of intriguing but maybe also dissatisfying.
