I always like Lucius Parhelion's work.  It has a lovely, understated, intelligent tone, very nice character development and interesting plots. I really enjoyed this particular book: the details convey the feeling of the era (not that I'm that old, but I remember 1970's duck and cover, the anti-Communist sentiments, etc.).  I also worked in astrophysics for a while, so it's fun to see those connections and get a sense of that feeling of an exciting on-the-verge-of-huge-advances time.  This was great, and I haven't read a LP yet that I haven't liked--I recommend them all.  One thing I like about LP's work is that the men tend to be cautious and realistic and to still make their relationships work despite the social pressures of the times.
