I'd recommend passing on this book and sticking with the more imaginative and less dated works by Heinlein or Niven.

Would you try another book from Fritz Leiber and/or Norman Deitz?
The narrator was fine, and I've enjoyed other works by Lieber, but I'll be cautious.Any additional comments?
There's a scene in the middle that almost made me throw my ipod out the car window. It's more-or-less a military rape, given the power dynamic between the two characters involved, with bonus mutual asphyxiation, while the waters rise, leading to their inevitable death by drowning. Yes, it's as horrid as that sounds, if not worse.Before that, there are obnoxious potheads who don't die nearly fast enough, and the token Vietnamese character, whose sole purpose in this book is to show that the events are affecting the whole world.
And don't get me started on the alien catwoman...
Dated and dull
