'Song of a Dry River' offers a brilliant taste of Mr. Resnick's Kirinyaga series. Koriba, the mundumugu has power to annul a marriage because token goats are too scraggy to resemble goats. But the witch doctor's command fails to touch the stubbornness of an ancient woman, the mother of paramount chief, Koinnage. No one can be unhappy in Utopia. Tradition is tradition, and authority supreme, even in a terraformed world. Mumbi's defiance, her claim to the witch doctor's hill, forces the mundumugu's hand. Kirinyaga must suffer. Adjust or perish. Laced with insight, craft and wit, Mr. Resnick's 'Song of a Dry River' is magical, a five-star tale. Writing flows smoothly, as the reader wonders. Will Mumbi yield to lift the curse she has brought upon her people? -Eugen Bacon, Fictionwise Recommender
