Retromancer by Robert Rankin

Retromancer by Robert Rankin

When the world's all wrong and it needs setting right, who're you gonna call? Hugo Rune, of course: a man who offers the world his genius, and asks only, in return, that the world cover his expenses!

"Once again, you're in for a Robert Rankin rollercoaster ride" TOTAL SCI FI "Retromancer does at least tell a ripping yarn. " SFX "It's easy to see why Rankin has a huge cult following. Drawing on a rich vein of English humour that encompasses Python, Adams and Stanshall, his comedy-fantasies are filled with pop culture references, music hall wordplay and ironic quips galore." -- Jonathan Wright BBC FOCUS "Simultaneously funny, silly, clever, linguistically deft and sometimes very childish. A fine slab of silliness." BOOK GEEKS "When an author is enjoying himself this much you can't help but go along for the ride and what a ride it is! I couldn't stop laughing the whole way through." GRAEME'S FANTASY BOOK REVIEW "Spies, robots and death rays make an appearance, with a lashing of vibrant humour. If you have a vivid imagination, you'll love this." SCARLET "If you like this sort of silliness, you'll like this because, well, this is that sort of silliness. There really is no point asking Rankin to grow up. It's way too late." WHARF "Rankin's traditionally in-your-face humour is fully in evidence in Retromancer, gearing it up to 11 and rarely, if ever, letting go of the reader's attention. We loved it and we suspect that you might too." SCI FI NOW
