Product Description
Synopsis
Zaidmouth is a far-future paradise. Its five communities are intertwined by artificial flower networks so complex they combine to create the virtual realities through which Zaidmouth is run. Yet into this vivid world a bad seed is about to be sown. Mansuruquyn, Priestess-Interpreter, has made a mistake. Exiled from the Shrine of the Crone, she is forced to live wild in Zaidmouth for one season. But who are the two mysterious men who run the empty Inn in which she shelters? And what is their connection with the metal beasts of the Cemetery? Nuiy is a young man leaving the stifling home he hates. Making for the Shrine of the Emerald Man, he discovers a world of order and domineering wills. But what secret plan do the leaders of the Shrine foment? And why do they embrace Nuiy's unique skill with such enthusiasm? It is the fate of Mansuruquyn and Nuiy to come together in a struggle to determine the future of Zaidmouth. There will be battles covert and open, betrayal and loyalty, capture and escape. But after all this, which single person will provide the blueprint for the future?

5.0 out of 5 stars Greenpunk is back, 19 Feb 2003
By J Toon (Exeter, Devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
A return to ecological cyberpunk for Stephen Palmer, with Manserphine of the Shrine of Our Sister Crone working with a pair of ancient cyborgs to try to prevent a "flower crash" - the demise of the botanical information systems of Zaidmouth. Meanwhile Fnfayrq of the Sea-Clerics and Nuiy, new recruit to the authoritarian Shrine of the Green Man, try to use the flower crash to re-engineer Zaidmouth society in their favour.
Many elements are reminiscent of Palmer's earlier books, 'Memory Seed' and 'Glass', but 'Flowercrash' is definitely its own book. Strong characters, powerfully emotional scenes and some thought-provoking political matter make 'Flowercrash' an excellent read.
