Ahem, at risk of being accused of banging my own drum, I've now got
a publication date and publisher for the novel: you might want to
take a look at "Singularity Sky", due from Ace in July 2003. (The
same novel is due out in the UK next year, but titled "Festival of
Fools". Personally, I blame the marketing department.)
