15 High-Brow, 3 Violent, 23 Experimental and 11 Cynical!
Congratulations! You are High-Brow, Violent, Experimental and Cynical! These concepts are defined below.
Mary Gentle is a UK author whose work has received some acclaim. Her great break-through came with 1984 fantasy novel Golden Witchbreed, which depicts the travels of a UK envoy on a planet, Orthe, where the inhabitants have, by choice, abandoned a high-tech society for a seemingly less advanced way of life.
