==Ratings, awards, mentions and recommendations==
I looked up the author after he was mentioned in a comment on Reddit in April 2012"...like reading Alfred Bester or Roger Zelany where the Science was totally made up and heavy with early Cold War paranoia about the possibilities of what the effects of Atomic weapons might be.", and found that this was said to be his major work.
