5.0 out of 5 stars Join the Bentfin Boomer Boys on Little Old New Alabama, 27 Jun 2009
By Blackhorse47 "I.J. Parnham" (Moray, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
In the far future Mankind has learned nothing. No advancement in behaviour has accompanied the technological advancements. Planets are colonised by old earth countries such as New France, New England and all the same old prejudices are perpetuated.

So it comes to pass that the inhabitants of New Alabama declare war on their most hated of old earthers, the New Haitians. A battle commences between the sophisticated and peaceful Haitians and the brainless and racist Alabamians. The New Haitians seem doomed, but then they hatch a cunning plan. If the Alabamians have returned to the old ways, so can they. So they explore the old religion called voodoo...

If you want a thoughtful consideration of the future of Mankind, this isn't it. If you want an analysis of the stupidity of racism, this isn't it. If you want a space romp full of action and wild plot developments, then this is it. This book is in the rare class of novels that have huge chunks written in a phonetic stream of consciousness style that actually work.

Often this style of writing fails because the author puts a lot of effort into the style but little thought into the story. Here though the story is worth deciphering. Originally most of this novel was published as several inter-related short stories and to some extent the shorter works were more successful, but this is still a fun novel by an author with the ability and vision to make the bizarre entertaining.
