4.0 out of 5 stars War of the sexes, 5 Jun 2006

(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
Richard Calder returns to themes he has been exploring since his debut novel `Dead Girls', with this tale of the ultimate battle between male and female sexuality played out against an exotic 19th Century background where portals in London open onto an otherworldly alien Babylon. The background here is a heady mix of science fiction, alternative history and mythology, but it has to be said that for much of the novels length the actual story is rather slow and meandering, with plenty of exposition and little in the way of action, though Calder does redeem himself somewhat with an audacious and moving climax. `Babylon' scores highly for it's imaginative ideas, but is a little dry and uninvolving at times, which is a shame, as Calder simultaneously published a related novella called `After the Party' (in British SF magazine Interzone) which was gobsmackingly brilliant, and managed to instil an emotional and erotic angle which is mostly absent here. Still, a good book - but not quite up to the level of Calder's best.
