"Caveat" a wonderful ride into damnation and redemption
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
When I heard about this book, I thought that it sounded mildly interesting, so I picked it up. I ended up reading it in little more than three hours. This story, about a rainmaker who practices his magic through science, has to be the most original thing I've ever read in my entire life. In an age where there is "nothing new under the sun," stories like this are a refreshing reminder that the ideas, new or otherwise, are there, waiting to be found. This book, "The Pied Piper" meets witchdoctor, is nearly everything a reader could want. Bravo, Miss Kalpakian!
