EW's GRADE
BDetails Writer: Alan Dean Foster; Genre: Fiction; Publisher: Pyr
The subtitle of Alan Dean Foster's Sagramanda promises ''a novel of near-future India,'' and so it is. An information thief tries to buy his way out of the megalopolis Sagramanda, teeming with 100 million people who take mag-lev shuttle trains and rickshaws.
For Fans of...
Johnny Mnemonic (the Gibson, not the Keanu), Blade Runner, and Monsoon Wedding.
Lowdown
Foster's world is convincingly thought-out, but there are too many plot
threads (even a man-eating tiger).
