More About This Book

Overview

A strangely captivating novel from Hugo-nominated author Dominic Green. Mount Ararat, a world the size of an asteroid yet having Earth-standard gravity, plays host to an eccentric farming community protected by the Devil, a mechanical killing machine, from such passers-by as Mr von Trapp (an escapee from a penal colony), the Made (manufactured humans being hunted by the State), and the super-rich clients of a gravitational health spa established at Mount Ararat's South Pole.

    more from this reviewer

    Starts slow.. hits stride.. and then...

    ... then you get confused. Basically, the book seems to be designed as a 'serial' of stories, combined into one sequence. It takes a couple of chapters to get into the flow of the book, at which point, it really does hit the stride. However, by the end of the book, you will get confused by the large number of characters that seem to just show up from earlier chapters without being previously mentioned, including a couple of characters that go through characteristic changes for absolutely no reason. Lots of potential, but you have to get ready for a roller-coaster (ups and downs) of a read.

    Pretty good concept

    Interesting treatment of an unlikely environment. The chapter themes were inspired. However, by the end, I was getting confused by the large cast of characters and their story lines.

    Highly Original Sci-Fi

    The holy grail for sci-fi readers is reading a story that doesn't recycle memes set down by those that helped originally define the genre in the first place. Though the story does have it's flaws, I was delighted to read something that seemed to be covering fairly new ground. I haven't enjoyed a sci-fi story as much since discovering some of the first cyberpunk books in the early 80s. I found those a bit difficult to follow at first and enjoyed watching them grow into their own popular sub-genre. Give it a try, especially for free on your Nook.

    Sarcastic, humorous, scifitastic and...

    Thought provoking, in a good way. Excellent characters and conflict. Great science and the story telling keeps pulling you along. I really enjoyed these continuous stories alot.

    Very good read!

    I took a chance on this book, thinking I probably wouldn't like it. And I am very glad I did! It is great! Humorous, witty, intellectually stimulating. I highly recommend it.

    Enjoyable and often thought provoking

    The first half was very entertaining. Worth reading if only for gems like the Amazonian cattle ranches being pushed out by genetically modified rain forests. I, though relatively literate, found myself looking up many references in this book. It was well worth taking the time to do so. -Subtle... some even very subtle, but very entertaining.

    Haven't seen anything like this in ages

    It's not easy writing science fiction in an era when you literally CAN stand up and wave a stick around and make incredible things happen. But this book brings back the days when authors would craft a series of related stories on an original theme and produce a book like Pratchett's "Colour of Magic".

    Here we have 2 themes that haven't been worked threadbare previously - an extended family not-so-hick farmers and their relation with a Devil who's definitely real, if not in the traditional way. And a bureaucratic Universe that keeps intruding.

    A must read

    Fun, inventive, and you really want to read it till the end. Without spoiling the book, it a cross between Pratchett and Gaiman.

    Good premise

    An interesting idea but roughly executed. Far too many characters and excessive impossibilities for even a science fiction novel. Scenes are choppy and events are often unclear. At the same time the many twists are funny and many aspects will dellight scifi lovers.

    Wow

    I read this book. Well it might be a book. It's not like any other book I have ever read and I did finish it. I read every page. I'm not sure what happened but I think some of the people (machines?) lived. Out of the Box. That would be a nice way to describe it. Out of the box. I give it four stars because the author was nice enough not to charge me for reading it.

    Classic style sf, well written

    Vintage sci-fi, well written. Extra star for being free but still more entertaining than some recent sf I've purchased.
