Hands down some of the best writing on the planet. (

A great, great, book. Eight very different stories, apparently built around Australian aboriginal mythologies, but set in a strangely twisted future. Wonderfully imagined and well told.

For those who don't know, the main character in these yarns answers to several names. One of those names is Blue Tyson.

This short review is also available on a dabbler's journal. (
