A mutated race of humans possessing unearthly powers and no technology. Not hard science, but how science will affect ordinary people. Great characterisation, pacy, uplifting - human beings do have a chance despite the mess they've made of the world so far. Set fifty years in the future, possible alien involvement, government conspiracy and the potential end of the world. Colorful language, weird twists on classic postmodern themes.
Writing is crisp and involving.
This is an interesting story about alien invasion. Addresses overpopulation, pollution and desertification. Intriguingly written with fairly sharp characterization. Believable and harrowing, with many futuristic scenes and landscapes. Haunting and profound.
