Pollen by Jeff Noon

The sweet death of Coyote, master taxi driver, was only the first. Soon people are sneezing and dying all over Manchester. Telekinetic cop Sybil Jones knows that, like Coyote, they died happy – but even a happy death can be a murder. As exotic blooms begin to flower all over the city, the pollen count is racing towards 2000 and Sybil is running out of time. `Britain’s first star of cyberpunk’ Guardian, `Great Fun. Read it’ Mail on Sunday, `As weird as it is wonderful’ The Times, `Surprising in its subtlety and deftness of characterization’ The Times, `A genuinely new flavour . . . the first of the psychedelic cyberfantasists’ Time Out, `Intriguingly textured, reliably witty and inventive, Noon’s whirling purposeful fantasy packs a full whallop’ Kirkus, `The same imaginative flair and gift for wildly mixed imagery that enlivened Vurt’ Publishers Weekly
