President Wilson was a more stubborn appeaser of Germany than Chamberlain 20 years later, as this page-turner of a historical narrative shows. ‘Peace without Victory’ was Wilson’s proposed solution to a war started by an authoritarian expansionist military power against a democratic alliance. Fascinating book.

The Demon Princes may be Vance’s most impressive series, set in different locales, but his creation of the planet Tschai (his name for the work, better than the prosaic Planet of Adventure’ is an astonishing feat of imagination, and description of both aliens and an alien world. Adam Reith is a more sympathetic hero than Kirth Gerson - a highly trained and courageous ethical everyman. Some dated sexism.

The Killing Machine crams more invention and plot twists than the other books, and has wonderfully witty Vancian excerpts from books and articles to introduce chapters. The Oikumene is an astonishing imaginative coup, so detailed, varied, and compelling that the reader wholly accepts it.
