Synopsis
Adam Roberts' fourth novel is his most ambitious yet. In a feat of extraordinary world building he creates a universe where a breathable atmosphere extends out between the planets, where aristocrats cruise interstellar space in biplanes, and skywhals make mysterious distant orbits. Then, with bravura plotting he undermines our own notions of reality and leaves the reader unsure which universe to believe. Gaining a reputation as one of the UK's leading SF stylists and masters of the high-concept Roberts, shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke award with his debut novel SALT, confirms his extraordinary potential with POLYSTOM.

Octavo, boards. First edition. Set "in an alternate cosmos, a solar system whose planets, which are only thousands of miles apart, share one atmosphere, as vacuum is impossible in this universe; the tale initially combines steampunk and mild satire through its protagonist, who is clearly modeled on P. G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster; but deaths and war soon terminate the idyll. Daft young Polystom's search for reality gains a pyrrhic victory: the war-torn planet he may die on, like the rest of the universe, may be a virtual reality artifact housed within a computer platform in our own cosmos (though the reverse may be true); whatever the truth, the war he is caught in is likely to kill him." - The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (online). A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#139989). N° de réf. du vendeur 139989
