Hi Greg,
I am overjoyed as I am now the proud owner of a copy of Quantico,Vanguard Press,NY sent to me as a gift by my uncle Dr.S.K.Mishra,Texas.I have just glanced over it and tempted to start reading it any time.But there is a hitch!The shipment also carried A copy of River of Gods by Ian Mcdonald which has a strong Indian backdrop.I am in a state of dilemma which one to begin first? Could you please rescue the situation?
regards,
Arvind

I'm an Ian McDonald reader myself. Since I've already read QUANTICO, personally, I'd start with RIVER OF GODS...and besides, Ian is part of the word India, no?

HA.. HA.. Hats off to your eloquence!As indicated by your good self I am beginning with Ian,Quantico awaits a more leisurely treatment.I shall apprise you what an Indian sf reader thinks of Quantico.
