Pacy, dark, violent and sexy, this noir sci-fi carries on the story of the A-Men in the urban wasteland of Earth in the future. The narrative alternates between the five protagonists, but Jack - the ''Nowhereman'' - is the strongest voice. He is both brutal and brutalised and a cipher for this broken society. But my favourite is Elliott, part-dog, part-man, who retains some core of naivety and purity in the midst of horrifiic surroundings. It's a frenetic read - from fight scene to sex scene and back again, the pace is relentless. The fight scenes are particularly great and I can't think of a possible punch that Trevellian Trevillian has pulled. If you'll pardon the pun.

Expect blood, gore, bodily fluids, sweat, toil and tears. And many rude words. The book isn't all dark though and there's a seam of black humour running through which I appreciated. Occasionally, I felt there was just too much going on - the kitchen sink, the bathroom sink, and next door's sink to boot - and there was a slight loss of focus. But some may actually feel this is a good thing. And there is a great deal to like about this book - it's funny and horrific and its people are as credible as the plot will allow. If you like your fiction hardboiled, this book is for you.
