A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When the Venusians arrived, it all changed. Eaters of our souls, the young women - as they appeared - caused a psychogeographic event to separate the old west of the USA from the rest of the planet. Now, in the 1950s, gunslingers and shootists still ply their trade; good-time girls still hang out in bars; and no modern technology will work. But good old Venusian know-how is in demand to help the US win the Cold War.
Richard Calder has one of the most original imaginations in the history of science fiction. Here, he introduces us to John Twist, shootist. To Miss Viva Venera, Venusian necrobabe, who hungers for Twist's soul. And to Nicola E. Newton, a young girl who is drawn to them both and whose life - and death - will never be the same. The illegitimate child of Clint Eastwood's UNFORGIVEN and DR STRANGELOVE, yet wholly original, THE TWIST will enthral, amuse and shock...
