Product Description

Product Description

Rufus O'Niall is dead and the green nazi occupation has been defeated: but at a huge cost to the three extraordinary people who saved England from the dark. Shattered and deeply changed by the sacrifices each of them had to make, Fiorinda, Axe and Sage are in hiding from their friends and fans on the Pacific coast of Mexico when they're tracked down by an emissary of Fred Eiffrich, President of the United States. He's got an offer they can't refuse. It's about a movie, allegedly . . . Sage finds himself drawn to an old flame. Ax has to fight dirty, for the future and against the might of a collapsing superpower. And Fiorinda, the magical daughter of the monster, whose memories of utter horror are threatening her sanity, struggles with a deadly addiction. The Bold As Love adventure continues, spinning a web of daring, dread and enchantment, in a world that could almost be ours.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gyneth Gold, 27 Aug 2006
By Gareth Wilson "drosdelnoch2" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Band Of Gypsys (Gollancz S.F.) (Paperback)
Fast paced action novel that's the third part of Gwyneths Bold as Love series. Great characterisation demonstrating an understanding of the human psyche as well as the continual character growth, the visual descriptiveness works extremely well and on the whole a cracking series to have on the shelves and one that will demand a reread something that very few manage to do.

5.0 out of 5 stars New to this author but highly impressed., 4 Feb 2004
By Paul W. (South of England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Midnight Lamp (Gollancz S.F.) (Paperback)
I had seen the name Gwyneth Jones crop up again and again so I decided to try one of her books. This is volume 3 in a series of which I have not read the first two (something I intend to fix!). Despite that I found it easy to get into the plot and the characters.

The pace is fast and the characters are complex and real. I really cared what happened to them all and worried how Jones was going to get them all intact to the end. The book is set in Mexico and the Western United States. I found the sense of place convincing even though the author is English and speaks with an English voice.

Magic, music and mayhem - what more could you want? (except love, passion, drugs and a dastardly plot to develop a super weapon of course! - all delivered)

Highly recommended.

2.0 out of 5 stars Revenge of the Hippies, 23 Oct 2006
By Daryl Dickson "Trashman" (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Band of Gypsys (Gollancz SF S.) (Paperback)
I know it's supposed to be fantasy, but it's also supposed to be at least plausible.

Keep the masses in check while the country falls apart with free concerts? Suddenly everybody believes in magic like a mediaeval peasants - to the point of being willing to burn a character at the stake? The silent majority are ignored while the 'drop out hordes' have to be catered for - after trashing any questionable technology in the country?
And finally, the chinese seem to have become the most powerful country on the planet after sustaining the greatest losses and everybody rolls over for them? They've developed technology decades ahead of everybody and have gone post fossil fuel after being one of the worlds greatest consumers of them. Apparently they have been working on this 'since the Burma Road closed in 1942' - only nobody knew anything!

Can anybosy see the USA ceding tracts of land to chinese. And doing so under threat, to allow them to invade England without going nuclear in response? Do the chinese think they can directly rule the world after invasions or threat of same and economic boycotts. No army is that large - especially one from a country that has taken large hits of it's own and is bound to have a restive population.

I like the characters, they are very well drawn and believable - even the secondary ones. But I think her world would never exist - it would be stamped flat as it would seem like the minority want a free ride at the expense of the majority. Everybody's politics changes over night and things (the chinese) are introduced with virtually no warning or explanation - they just 'are'.
