eorI finished "To Die in Italbar" on Thursday. I was close to finishing it on Wednesday, but I figured a book a day was a bit too much for me.
Italbar is solid Zelazny, a host of characters drawing together. The universe he creates is complicated, you get the feeling there is a lot more behind the scenes. The downsides: the characters could have gotten more development and the infinite resources available to almost all the characters echoes the dreams of the early seventies. But the description, language and world building squeeze a lot into less than 200 pages. The climax was a bit anti-climatic, but in the end he tied it up with integrity.
