Customer Reviews

Douglas Adams meets Tom Robbins
Zany combinations of a genetically rewired humanity,when the strange drift of fate and desire brings togheter fascinating and cryptic personae in a hyperrealistic martian desert.A masterpiece of the imagination.I'm savouring it slowly,to appreciate the melancholic,Sheckleyan twang of McDonald's intriguing writing. If you want to read a VERY good modern S.F. book on Mars,read this book.

A Pure Classic
Classic SF novels arrive too rarely these days, and it is good to see this modern classic being reprinted. The fact that it was ever out of print is a crime and this edition should surely redress the balance.

I cannot recommend this novel highly enough - buy it today...

Wow better than i expected
Well what can i say Mcdonald Crafts a fine Story. He weaves many threads and manages to Somehow to pull them all together again. You can see some plotlines coming but hell its a great book and a fantastic read.

The Blurb lets it down. If you like Sci-Fi and weird mythos than this is the book for you!
