Written with enthusiasm bordering on ecstasy by David Flint, <i>Babylon Blue</i> just manages to "[scratch] the surface of a hugely prolific industry." This is both its curse and saving grace. There’s information galore, but it’s all foreplay. The facts don’t culminate to any sort of peak. If anything, <i>Babylon Blue</i> is masturbatory. The author is having all of the fun. <p><a href="default-nf.htm">Go to the review</a></font> </body>
