I have always felt that it was probably Michner’s third best book. I loved how he used the dig as a method of traversing history - a wonderful bit of business and how he used the same family lines. He did much the same (the family line thing) in most of his others of course, but it was easier for him since the time line was more limited in those.
No, my one big gripe with the Source is the same gripe I have with most of his work – he doesn’t end his books all that well. That and he doesn’t draw his women as well as he does his men.
