Reviews

"Something magical and not to be missed."--The Guardian "Beautifully rendered...Ballard the poet in full ecstatic blast."--Anthony Burgess "A haunting vision of diseased beauty...Ballard sustains it with extraordinary intensity."--The Observer "Ballard transports us once more into his own mystical, glittering and poetic universe."--Sunday Telegraph "The terrifying thing about Ballard is his logic; is this science fiction or history written ahead of its time?"--Len Deighton
