Summary

Adam Roberts' novel is a terrifying vision of a near future war - a civil war that tears the UK apart as new technologies allow the worlds first truly democratic army to take on the British army and wrest control from the powers that be.

Taking advances in modern communication and the new eagerness for power from the bottom upwards Adam Roberts has produced a novel that is at once an exciting war novel and a philosophical examination of war and democracy.

It shows one of the UKs most exciting and innovative literary voices working at the height of his powers and investing SF with literary significance that is its due.

Pompous, boring, and fundamentally implausible.

It’s like a tedious lecture by the sort of Englishman who knows all there is to know about some obscure subject and insists on telling you about it whether you want to know or not.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
