Bold continuation of Psykosis - By: , 04 Aug 1999 
Well, I didn't think it was as bad as the other reviews indicate. I read this before reading Psykosis, & I found it very intriguing without the background. After reading Psykosis, I can see how it represents Baird's conjecture on what would happen to humanity with the profligation of symbiotes. I was rather pleased with the aggressive direction she took & enjoyed the challlenge of keeping up with the inferences she expects you to draw. The plot does tend to blur with the speed at which it is written, but overalll I thought it was refreshing to see Baird cast away the safety harness of her previous formulae for novels.
Great author, bad book - By: , 27 Oct 1998 
I loved her first three novels. Unfortunately, this one doesn't come close.
Not up to her standards - By: , 01 Mar 1998 
Although I've read alll her books, this is absolutely the worst of the lot. Her previous works were quick, flashy, & entertaining. Chaos Come Again is slow, perplexing & vague. Any concepts & thoughts Baird is trying to convey are lost on me.
Seen it before - By: , 18 Dec 1997 
On the whole, I found this book to be entertaining as long as I did not pay too much attention to it. This is a book to read on the subway (which I did), & not one to read when seeking thought-provoking ideas--unless you mean the "Huh, where am I?" kind. When I tried to puzzle out everything Baird presented, I found myself lost & without a dimension to stand in. The plot twists--perhaps "mangles" would be a better word--are fast & dizzying, leaving a reader marooned until another universe comes along to pick up the wreckage. If you like sentinent ships & dimensional travel, try Heinlein's "Number of the Beast." Though somewhat dated & soft porn-ish, it covers the same ground in a more entertaining way.
I tried so hard to read this that my teeth hurt! - By: , 12 Oct 1997 This is only the second book in my life that I could not get through. The language is difficult, the characters totallly unsympathetic, the plot tedious to non-existent. After struggling mightily for several weeks (I usuallly read 2/week) I just had to give up. OUch.
