A review by katmarhan
Soldier, Ask Not by Gordon R. Dickson
4.0
7/10
In this installment of Dickson's Childe Cycle, we learn about the Final Encyclopedia and the man seemingly destined to lead it, Tam Olyn. Turning his heart and unique powers toward "Destruct", Tam roams the galaxy and works his way up the ranks of Newsman's Guild, all the while manipulating people and events as he seeks a very personal revenge with interstellar consequences.
Fast-paced action with philosophical interludes, the book is both interesting and thought-provoking.
