On Saturday 12 March, 14:00 - 15:00, at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow, I and
Iain M. Banks will be
talking about and possibly reading from our latest books, Iain's
Surface Detail and my
The Restoration Game, as part of Glasgow's literary festival
Aye Write!.
A thoughtful review by Andy Sawyer of
The Restoration Game is
now up at Strange Horizons. And an enthusiastic review that I missed earlier appeared last September
in the SWP's monthly journal Socialist Review.
One of the book's biggest strengths is its excellent characterisation of Lucy. Here we have a protagonist who is fully rounded, dealing not only with the enormity of the book's main plot but with the everyday pressures of work, friendships and relationships. All this is tied together in an enigmatic twist worthy of Philip K Dick.
The Restoration Game is highly recommended to fans of science fiction and political thrillers alike.
