My library has "Imager's Battallion"!
Don't think I really have time to start and finish such a book in two weeks right now, though...
I think I'm just a lot more comfortable putting my mind into "fantasy mode" rather than "sci-fi mode," having read more fantasy and maybe being more familiar w/ the conventions.
Might be awhile before I go for something like "Adiamante" or even a re-read of "Flash." (maybe I'll "get" more out of its discussion of advertising when I do.)
So, to avoid spoilers then... u, would you say that you re-read Adiamante for primarily to gain perspective, or primarly for personal enjoyment.
(Or would you characterize it some other way?)

On the first couple of rereads I'd have still been absorbing the moral implications (they're overtly stated, a bit like in The Ethos Effect), now I enjoy other aspects like pacing and little hints that some of Modesitt's worlds may inhabit the same universe (a-la-Stephen King).
