A medieval science fiction novel set in the far future. Gray conjures up a future world to examine warfare and communal living within a warm Scottish vernacular. For such a slim volume there is a lot of philosophical musings of an experienced mind, which gets the grey matter swirling.

An unusual serving of speculative fiction with socialist undertones, topped off with mild wit, cleverness, and a ludicrous amount of explanatory notes.
It isn't remarkably well-written by Gray's standards, but followers should be mildly entertained.
The artwork is impeccable as always: almost more impressive than the book itself.

Slim, light utopian SF, but written in the glorious Alisdair Grey style.
