There are two pages on this line. " A very testing line...White doesn't have an advantage but there are a number of positions which need tests", says Fernandez.
His main line leads, after some unintuitive (for me) fireworks,  directly to a complex endgame 2N+B+5p vs T+B+6p. He thinks both sides keep some winning chances.
I'm not at all familiar with the c5 line and I would have appreciated more explanations along the way.

Austrian Attack and The Modernized Modern

Although a little hard to be certain from the index provided on the publishers website it looks like the Modernized Modern deals with  5...c5 after 1 e4 d6 2 d4 Nf6 3 Nc3 g6 4 f4 Bg7 5 Nf3 c5.

This is a line I've always enjoyed as black but of late I've been striking 6 Bb5+ Bd7, 7 e5 Ng4, 8 Bxd7 Qxd7, 9 h3 cxd4, 10 Qxd4 Nc6 and now 11 Qa4....This line seems to be something of a computer try and isn't covered in Marin's book and I could only find a couple of ICCF games in my database. 

So just wondering whether the Modernized Modern looks at this option in any detail, if so I'd be more than happy to buy the book?
