Microcosm
I was looking up customer reviews on Amazon for The Shiva Option and its prequels, and discovered these two reviews for Crusader:

Excerpt from first review: "This story has many similarities to historical conflicts. The genocidial destruction of the Rigellian Protectorate in the Third Interstellar War parallels the actions of Rome in the Third Punic War. The actions of the Thebans reflect the fanatical behavior of both sides in the long conflict between Christianity and Islam, particularly in the Eastern Roman Empire and in Spain."

The entire second review: "I liked this book.It has good plot and good chacters. Its just that it says so much about the Third Intersteller War and The Wars of Shame that i got tried of it. I also want them to write about them. But it goes on how the Federation's navy is badly under strength and then in he loses so many SD's in Parsifal,Loreiel,and Thebes that it seemed to contrdict one another."

Both are copied straight off the page. See a slight intellectual dimorphism? Check the time of this post; you'll see why I find this so hilarious.
