Another Past Review
A very good follow up to the LA Times article expanding on the Journeyman...

John Grant gets out of 5. Great review!

The term "journeyman" refers to two things. 1) a person who has completed the required number of hours to call themselves an experienced professional; and, 2) a capable producer whose skill falls somewhere between beginner and master.

A very well written review which convinces me thoroughly to never ever again touch a book with the name Kevin Journeyman Anderson on its cover.

And this sums it up for me:

"Although it is two or three times longer than any of those nameless old pulp paperbacks would ever have been permitted to be, it has exactly the same atmosphere of dutiful journeyman sf. The pages get turned OK, but without any great deal of enthusiasm because there's no real narrative drive and one, quite rightly, anticipates no ideative surprises. This is a long book based on a premise drawn from sf's common stockpot."

Finally, whe know what the J stands for.

great review tearing the book down, luv it.

I thought the J stood for Jabecca's tool or Jacket?
