Talk:Slaves of the Shinar

Why no speedy deletion
This page is about an out-of-print novel and most of its content was a copyright violation. A case could be made for requesting speedy deletion by an admin without discussion. I did not do this because: A “Critical reception” section may be useful, esp. if more than one notice of the book can be found. And of course any editor who has actually read the book should feel free to do an encyclopedia-style plot summary. — ℜ ob C. alias ALAROB 12:19, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Although the novel is out of print, it was published by a “real” press (Overlook, since acquired by Duckworth, an independent publisher — not a vanity press — in the UK.)
 * The novel was mentioned in at least one book review published in a major newspaper, a review that describes the book as part of a notable trend in its genre.
 * The novel uses (recycles?) characters and settings from notable ancient literature.
