The ``The First Immortal'' reminded me somewhat of various Heinlein books
due to the preacherous approach, which I have an allergic reaction to.
It set off my big, red ``CONDITION RED:MEME INFECTION ATTEMPT'' warning signal
so it hardly made any impact in my meme pool.
The ``Aristoi'', OTOH, felt much more interesting, a traditional action story
with lots of interesting memes thrown in, but under the meme radar, as it were.
Almost all of the story people fall into the �bermensch cathegory, however, so
one can hardly call the social system of the story democratic. !-/ Be warned.
BTW, I have upgraded my meme infection defense system. !-)
