Well respected short story author's first novel.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Stories by macleod have been in various yr's best for years. Sadly people don't subscribe ,or even know about, magazines like Asimov's (www.asimovs.com) or interzone. This is considered to be one of the best 1st sf novels of its year. Very British ,with scot elements, but some say the african cultures more detailed. It describes a world ravaged by eco-collapse where 1st & 3rd worlders are almost untouchables to each other. Probably worth a try, but I think macleod's on the literary end of the sf spectrum so it's probably not easy reading.
