Product Description

Review

"Edgy SF. Comparisons to Philip K. Dick aren't too wide of the mark. Assured and uncompromising, Dark Heavens marks the emergence of a potential major new voice in British SF."


Product Description

DARK HEAVENS takes us back to Roger Levy's stunning vision of a world counting out its final years as it literally falls apart. London is awash with volcanic ash, the population fatalistically playing out their lives in VR. But ReGenesis, the radical movement who started Earth's death with a series of controlled nuclear explosions in the Marina's trench, have not finished with the planet yet. RECKLESS SLEEP was a supremely assured and visionary SF debut. DARK HEAVENS builds on that promise with flair and verve. Roger Levy has made a name for himself in record time. This is a remarkable sequence of novels in the making.

From the vantage point of the discreet Observer's balcony, with its data-monitors and racks of screens so new they still itched with box static, Auger gazed down over the crowded park beneath Alexandra Palace. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars A gripping absorbing novel, 13 Aug 2003
By M. J. Odell (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is almost impossible to put down before you reach the end.It is similar to Altered Carbon in style, though the story itself I found even more stimulating. Both offer a gritty view of the future. The characters are well drawn but it is the strong story line, excellent pace and surprise twists in the plot that make it an excellent read. It is a dark but believable view of the future incorporating a good scientific framework with administration corruption and manipulation of a desperate population. This future could well be closer than we think. The suspense builds throughout and even the ending leaves you wanting more. This is the first book I have read by this author and I will definitely read his others.

5.0 out of 5 stars lasting impressions, 21 Dec 2007
This is the sort of book that lasts for years in your mind. You'll find yourself thinking more clearly about new technologies, concepts of reality and social structures. The writing is quite beautiful - lyrical, yet precise, always thoughtful and thought-provoking. A compelling story.
