4.0 out of 5 stars Jules Verne meets Monty Python, 17 Jul 2008

By	Andrew de Salis (Madrid, Spain) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Digging Leviathan (Paperback)

James Blaylock is an author of a number of fine, quirky novels balanced perfectly between science fiction, adventure and comedy.

The Digging Leviathan describes the efforts of two, or just possibly three, groups of endearingly bonkers (and occasionally sinister) scientists to tunnel through to the centre of the allegedly hollow earth, in 1980s California. Our heroes' efforts are complicated by mermen, an apparently immortal poet, and the machinations of the fiendish Dr. Hilario Frosticus. There are a couple of bits of island exploration which recall Robert Louis Stevenson, and some cracking chases through the Bay area sewers.

Like other Blaylock novels I've read, the opening chapters are a bit bewildering, as you try to keep track of the 7 or 8 sturdy chaps who make up our band of heroes, and who at times seem to have wandered in from a Monty Python sketch; although the novel is set in modern times, its' roots are in Victorian science fiction and now disproved theories, but written with a light touch and tongue firmly in cheek. As the story bowls along,Blaylock never fails to bring a smile to your face. This book spawned a sequel - Homonculous,set in nineteenth century London - which is, if anything, even better.
