Product Description

Review

"Fascinating and superbly written." --"Starlog"
"One of the stranger SF series of recent years...Calder's mix of violent and graphically sexual images and dizzily recursive explications of SF tropes blended through a reality mixer is unsettling, genuinely exotic, and fiercely intelligent. Highly recommended. --Paul J. McAuley, Interzone
"A literary head kickc, pushing gender and bio-tech buttons as hard as something like Neuromancer pushed the romance of digital criminality." --Richard Kadrey, author of "Kamikaze L'Amour"
"A future world as rich, dense, and intricate as any in recent SF."--Rob Latham," The New York Review of Science Fiction"
"The trilogy holds many rewards, cerebral and aesthetic." --"Publishers Weekly"
"Stunning...a wild trilogy" --"Science Fiction Age"

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, 5 Jul 2004
Not an easy read, confusing and brutal, but brilliantly written. One of the best books I have ever read. I must read for anyone who wants to experience something a bit different to the normal rubbish out there.

But be prepared to work hard, this is not an easy ride

5.0 out of 5 stars Moorcock meets Gibson in a Gender War, 6 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This trilogy is without a doubt the finest piece of writing I have read this year. This series is not for all but if you like Jeff Noon or Michael Moorcock you must pick up this book. Calder's way with words and his style draw you deep into this nightmare world which is a reflection of our own. Calder's points about life in the information age and the war of the sexes are rapier sharp and dead on. A beautiful and dark collection that engages the reader from beginning to end. A must read!

4.0 out of 5 stars sex and death linked in cyberThailand, futuristic clubland, 20 Dec 1997
By A Customer
These books are a obssesive read, once in you have to finish. Calder's world sucks you in, just as the Meta girls, boys and things suck life out of each other. Don't try to conciously keep details in mind, rather let them swirl and mingle until you can smell a Doll or see a Elohim out of the corner of your eyes. Read best at night, not for the easily moralistic or the quickly offended. I like all three as they don't seem to try so hard to be sci-fi or cyber-sexy, they just are.
