Product Description

Synopsis
A universe in danger! Deadly cyborgs! Intergalactic ghosts! Mischief! Crying! In an adventure that spreads its ungainly wings from the far end of the universe to a tidily-managed kitchen in 19th century London, classic pulp heroes Detective Jim Grimmett and Milon the Assassin team up with Nanotus the Giant and Professor Quigg (the noted brain specialist) to save everything that is ' from the ravages of' the Dark Matter Destroyer!!!

From the Publisher
At Silver Age Books we remember the days when we used to buy a novel and read it the same evening. We ache for the classic Panther, Penguin, Orbit and NEL paperbacks of the 1960s and 1970s, for novels like Drunkard's Walk, The Reefs of Space and Foundation, novels we only ever saw on sale second-hand - whole universes packed into less than 200 pages, sealed in a space-black cover. That is the kind of book Silver Age Books wants to publish.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book for all to to be in awe of..., 21 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Quiet, the Tin Can Brains Are Hunting represents a milestone in the Nonconformist Science-Fantasy literary genre. Imagine, if you will, the comedy of Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett multiplied by the story-telling of Frank Herbert and J.R.R. Tolkien, and you still would not even be glimpsing a fragment of this title's worth. With such mastermind creations as the Travelling Dimension, and the Town of Monkey-Monkey (two monkeys came here once, not just one), this book is, without a doubt, a strong candidate for both the Hugo and Nebula awards. May it rest in the most visible place on your bookshelf for all to see and marvel at.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you only read one book this incarnation..., 3 Jan 2002
By A Customer
Few books can be said to have truly altered the course of humanity.

In decades to come generations of otherwise sober and contented men and women may well feel the anguished pangs of regret - that they had only read "Quiet, the Tin Can Brains are Hunting" while there was still time for the world to change!

S.W. Theaker's latest offering is a mind-expanding, heart-quickening, palm-moistening adventure on a galactic scale, encompassing lofty moral discussion and low humour, leaping from laser battles to tender love scenes, and including more monkeys than you could possibly imagine.

The novel also sees the welcome return of the world's most celebrated scientist's wife, Mrs. Anna Challenger, along with many other famous and infamous characters born of the fecund Theaker imagination.

Read this book. Read the hell out of it.
