Wonderful book.  I just read it for the first time...two years ago?  Very much enjoyed it. 

RIP Mr. Adams.  2016 takes another one.  :(

Adams had such an ability to confure outside of the box situations and characters.
It didn't totally work, but I really liked his book, Traveller.  The American Civil War told from the standpoint of RE Lee's horse.
