Synopsis
A superb work of literary fantasy. In a truly original imagined world of breathtaking, sometimes surreal, beauty, fifty utterly alien but disarmingly human immortals lead mankind in a centuries-long war. Jant is the Messenger, one of The Circle, a cadre of fifty immortals who serve the Emperor, and the only immortal - indeed the only man alive - who can fly. The Emperor is seeking to protect mankind from the hordes of giant insects who have plagued the land for centuries, overwhelming towns with their beautiful nests, eating everything and everyone in their path. But he must also contend with the rivalries and petty squabblings of his chosen immortals. These are squabbles that will soon spill over into open civil war. Steph Swainston has written an astonishingly original literary fantasy. She writes beautifully. Her novel places her in a tradition of writing typified by Mervyn Peake, M. John Harrison and, latterly, China Mieville. This is a breathtaking debut novel of the finest quality.

Edward Miller (illustrateur). London: Gollancz:, 2004. First British edition, Hardcover, Near Fine in Fine dust jacket, 290 pp. Cover artwork by: Edward Miller Text block a bit toned at extremities. Chef Phil and his new wife live in New Orleans. Phil's happy, even his new wife's kids seem to like him. That's nice because their father was a very popular Cajun musician who was killed in a car crash. Things are cool until weird things start happening to and around Phil. His cat develops the ability to come through locked doors and what appears to be the ghost of the dead musician seems to be haunting a number of everyday objects. The ghost's presence becomes stronger. Experts like exorcists and psychics are consulted to no avail. Phil's beginning to think that he might be better off joining the ghost than battling the ghost. The ghost seems to think the same thing and Phil and his new family become completely unnerved. Harper's third novel looks like fun and like one that may slip by the horror community. Harper: the other spooky writer from New Orleans. First British edition, Hardcover, Near Fine in Fine dust jacket, N° de réf. du vendeur 74139
