Review of "Brasyl" by Ian McDonald
Sci-fi author Ian McDonald takes on a challenging task in bringing three separate plot lines from three different eras together in a single novel. Its a contemporary take on the well-worn parallel universe theme, using Sao Paulo, Brazil as a backdrop. Fans of McDonald's previous novel 'River of Gods' will certainly want to try this one on for size, but newcomers may find it a tough slog.
