Inhalt/Kritik

Kritik
"* 'Ings writes engagingly well, balancing pacy plotting with textured characters and opaque loyalties to tease the reader and making for a thoroughly enjoyable, intelligent yarn.' - Independent on Sunday * 'Dead Water displays a subtle and persistent power that confirms Ings as one of the very few British writers to be both contemporary and genuinely challenging.' - Guardian * 'modern science fiction in full pomp: it has a multitude of ideas, a wide-ranging narrative, an almost unbelievably ambitious casting of its net, taking one narrative chance after another. It is also a beautifully written novel, full of colour and inventive image.' - Christopher Priest, author of The Prestige * 'Beautifully written... There are scenes and unexpected twists that rival the most propulsive page-turner.' - Time Out"mehr
