I'm pretty sure I got that book from the library as well, at one point. I know it was a Hamilton book that had something to do with an RPG, or something. I got maybe three pages in and dumped the book because it stank of failure.

The other pre-Anita book that I read (Night-something. Nightseer? I think?) fared a little better by me. Not by much, though. Nothing in that fucking book was ever resolved. It was like LKH had written five or six books with the same characters, than selectively ripped out chunks of each book and stapled them together to make a Franken-novel.
