Another year in mankind's war for survival against the insects. God is still on holiday, the Emperor still leads and his cadre of immortals are still quarreling amongst themselves. It is known that the insects are reaching the Fourlands from the Shift but now mankind just has to do something about it. And in the meantime attention shifts to new lands and a naval expedition is launched. And Jant, the Emperor's drug-addicted winged messanger is expected to join it. Just perfect for a man terrified of ships and the sea. Steph Swainston's trilogy is building to be a landmark of modern fantasy. This is a wildly imaginative, witty yet profound fantasy, peopled with bizarre yet real characters.

Emma Wallace (illustrateur). London: Gollancz:, 2005. First edition, Hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket, 316 pp. Cover artwork by: Emma Wallace From the author of THE TEAR OF OUR WAR. Swainston's first novel THE YEAR OF OUR WAR was a very different and literate fantasy. That's rare these days. There is something new in the fantasy field and Swainston seems to have found it. NO PRESENT LIKE TIME continues the story that began with THE YEAR OF OUR WAR. I'd compare Swainston to. . . . ah, I can't think of anyone to compare her to. She seems to be equal parts of Roger Zelazny and Aldous Huxley, a brilliant and tasty combination. First edition, Hardcover, Fine in Fine dust jacket, N° de réf. du vendeur 30365
