The Stone Canal by Ken Macleod
The acclaimed second novel in the Fall Revolution sequence.
Another wonderfully knotty, inventive, intelligent yarn, if top-heavy with political minutiae that even dyed-in-the-wool Anglophiles will have a hard time deciphering-- KIRKUS REVIEWS
MacLeod's writing is smooth and sure, full of striking images and breathtaking extrapolations of current technology. It's a pleasure and a challenge to read a book where human potential and human foibles are dealt with as thoroughly as is scientific advancement. Fans of William Gibson and of Iain Banks, in particular, will enjoy this visionary novel. -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This man's going to be a major writer * Iain M. Banks *
Plenty of clever surprises... a compelling read * STARBURST *
MacLeod's ideas are always interesting and his descriptive prose is elegant, deceptively simple and extremely vivid * SFX *
MacLeod's offbeat imagination and witty narrative make this a rewarding read * NEW SCIENTIST *
