> Here's a little game. Below is a list of the books in the last BAM election, but this time I have included the little blurb under the title on the cover. After having read the "hook", NOW which book would you have voted for?

Ooh. Tough choice. It'd be either my original choice - "Cradle of the Sun" - or "The Herod Men," though I get the sneaking feeling I may have read the latter at some point. It sounds, from the hook, strikingly familiar.
