Not near as good as the first one, which is a shame as it was this one that led me to the first. Seems like in the intervening couple of decades he spent a lot of time with a thesaurus or otherwise learned a lot of big words and felt it necessary to use as many as possible. Now I don't have a problem with big words but when they get in the way ... and the story wasn't as interesting either. Not a bad read but could have done without it. Its copyediting was head and shoulders above the rushed out paperback edition of the first, though.

Jeter was a protege of Philip K. Dick. I really like some of this other work, but, like Infernal Devices, this was disappointing.
