This book is not a simple read, it demands attention from the reader and some imagination. The protagonists are a dead army general, a young man on a quest to find his pet ant and a woman who has been born fully grown to compete a task she is unaware of.
The plot twists and turns as the main characters try to save earth from "the encroachment"! At his best, I don't think anyone can touch him and even his low points are a cut above the standard Sci-fi fare.
The phonetic transcription and short-cuts are similar to text-messaging and in my head, it had the flow of a cockney accent. Their actions are consistent and they always feel at home in their environment. This just adds to the fun and enjoyment of the book. I admit it I am an Iain M.
I think his stories are just the perfect mix of engaging narrative, world building and humour. Banks fan. When I found out that it was possible to purchase a hardback copy of Feersum EndjinnI, I jumped at the chance. Large sections of the book are narrated by Bascule the Teller and written phonetically in the first person.
His characters are always three dimensional and realistic. This book is set in a far future earth abandoned by the majority of humanity. A great read.
