Product Description
About the Author
* First rate sf from a hot new talent based in the UK - will appeal to the fans of William Gibson, Neal Stephenson and Pat Cadigan * From the highly acclaimed author of LETHE and SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME: * ' A cool noir plot allows the reader to explore deeply realised characters, who in turn highlight the sophisticated themes of the plot; a feedback narrative structure with the kind of balance that only A-list writers are capable of. So much so, this is a book which the contemporary novelists of 2020 will aspire to write' Peter F Hamilton * 'SOMEONE TO WATCH OVER ME starts off good - and then gets better. By the end it's quite amazing... Read it' SFX'

I bought this book after hearing that T.S. wrote cyberpunk. It isn't quite of that genre of S.F. really but is a good "future history" of earth, with the possibilites of genetic manipulation, wetware (techology incorporated into the organism) and a few other things. Excellent for a first novel, more old school S.F. than the current trend for wordy, big books; the action moves along nicely though I would not say it is a fast paced book. I've bought more T.S. after readng this one, which must be a recomendation!

Still Intrigued
10 Aug 1999
Format:Paperback
Oooh, did I burn up with jealosy when I realized that Trish Sullivan wrote this wonderful 400+ page book at twenty-six! It meant two things: 1) We are the same age and 2)Dern, I hadn't written it.
Sincerely, it is a wonderfully imaginative book that still tickles my imagination when I look up at the woods surrounding my house.
The first chapter is a doozy; you won't understand it at ALL until much much later in the book, but don't let it throw you--it's a wonderful read.
I do recommend it to adults, however, and older teens due to some, er, tricky sexual content. It's a very moving read, that draws you in completely into the powerful struggle which faces the protagonists.

left me wondering where the sequel was...
5 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
I found this to be a really enthralling book, imaginative and with compelling characters. I bought it for 50 cents at a bazaar, and it was one of the best uses of 50 cents I've found! I was somewhat disappointed in the ending, however, as it seemed to leave a lot of questions unanswered. I'm actually on Amazon.com today because I was wondering if there was a sequel (unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be...).
This is one of the coolest sci-fi books I've ever read!!
23 Aug 1998
Format:Paperback
This story combines almost every emotion you can imagine. You cry for the characters who have grow up and die. You feel angry for what they do to their children. Your soul rejoices when something good happens. You feel revulsion at the thought of the Pickled Brains. I picked up this book two summers ago at my brother's house. I didn't know what to expect, but now I tell everybody I know to read it. Thank you Ms. Sullivan for writing such an awesome book!
