Bishop has created a deeply esoteric universe in this series, The Black Jeweles, that deserves the hard core following it has accumulated, but the last few additions to the series have come off more as fanfic than actual contributions to the canon. This book, although a direct sequel of #7, really showcases what Bishop is capable of doing and what the series deserves.The book itself was less a story and more a study in politics, culture, and sociology; and an experiment of assimilation thereof. Not something someone who hasn't read the previous books should attempt to read but a book any (even moderate) fan will love.
It's as close to a handbook to protocol you'll be able to take with you while you LARP.
