This is one of the best books I have ever read. It is, basically, about the relationship between science and magic as exemplified in the relationship between Laurence and Patricia. As you might imagine, they are sometimes friends and sometimes enemies. There is humor in this book (for instance, ice cream as a reward for assasins?). The book also contains some philosophy, including some things that, even with my M. A. in philosophy, I am not sure where to go with it (for instance, "Life is often a choice between freedom on someone else's terms and slavery on your own terms" (or something like that)). One last thing: although I consider this a science fiction/fantasy book, you will find it in the general fiction section.
