false http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg 368874 3 Steel-eating mutant bacteria have reduced Europe to isolated, barbarous rubble and Nazi cossacks are at the gates of Imperial Paris. LizAlec, adopted daughter of Lady Claire, icily glamourous head of Imperial security, is kidnapped from a lunar Arrivals Lounge on her way to finishing school, and rescued by a one-lunged outcast who keeps his best friend's head in a coolbox. Everyone wants a piece of LizAlec--her mother's rivals, a murderous tele-evangelist who lives in a space ark, her burned-out cyborg rock star boyfriend, and whatever it is that lurks in her own body and makes her surprisingly competent in emergencies. Grimwood has made a modest career out of the realisation that cyberpunk long ago ceased to be the messianic next big thing in sf and became a set of gestures and a marketing ploy. The intelligent absurdities of his plotting, a vein of perverse eroticism, and his love affair with the brand-named impedimenta of an improbable high-tech future, add up to superior brain candy; a caper thriller with ideas in orbit above its station. There is a place for glossy fluff in sf, and Grimwood occupies it with real competence. --<I>Roz Kaveney</I> 358859 5 4 1999 Remix total:43|5:15|4:11|3:15|2:2|1:0| 43 168 66 0 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 0 0 false Mon Dec 07 11:05:22 -0800 2009 Mon Dec 07 11:05:22 -0800 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 4 0 false Wed Nov 18 15:38:11 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 15:38:11 -0800 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 0 0 false Wed Nov 18 03:25:26 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 03:25:26 -0800 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 4 0 false Tue Oct 20 13:44:02 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 20 13:44:06 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 4 0 false Sat Oct 10 05:01:19 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 05:01:19 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 0 0 false Tue Sep 22 02:20:26 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 02:20:26 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 5 0 false Sun Sep 06 08:43:07 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 06 08:43:07 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 3 0 false Wed Aug 26 08:02:17 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 08:02:17 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 0 0 false Wed Aug 05 21:26:53 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 21:26:53 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 5 0 false Sat Aug 01 17:19:36 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 01 17:19:36 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 3 0 false Tue Jul 28 13:45:17 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 13:45:17 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 5 0 false Mon Jul 27 08:33:43 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 08:33:43 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 5 0 false Wed Jul 22 12:39:33 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 12:39:33 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 3 0 false Mon Jul 06 11:23:03 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 11:23:03 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 0 0 false Sat May 16 00:03:45 -0700 2009 Sat May 16 00:03:45 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 0 0 false Mon May 11 21:47:33 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 21:47:33 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 0 0 false Fri May 08 12:50:32 -0700 2009 Fri May 08 12:50:32 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 4 0 false Fri Apr 03 00:10:40 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 03 00:10:40 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 0 0 false Thu Mar 26 13:44:34 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 13:44:34 -0700 2009 368874 0671022229 9780671022228 42 0 3.91 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1174181294m/368874.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/368874.Remix 4 0 false Sat Mar 14 14:17:38 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 14 14:17:45 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=368874
