Teaser:

Here's something to fill out the rest of this page - neither a review nor an interview. It's a response to Worldshaker from D.M. Cornish. An extract appears as a blurb on the book's back cover, but here's the full text:

"The idea of alternative histories for the world is deeply fascinating and in Worldshaker Mr Harland has provided a marvellously otherly vision of the 21st Century with wonderfully bizarrely named people and a claustrophobic setting of rivets, iron and steam, rustling silks and stiff collars and even stiffer manners; dark, twisting, bustling, brilliant – steam-punk, if I dare use the term, at its purest, its truest… And amidst it all, a strong indictment of the imperialistic ravages of the Western world. What a delight to read the words of a soul who shares the same grim tastes and love of playful language. Very very glum when it came to an end – returning to the book I was in the midst of reading when I took up World-shaker,I find it very thin and pallid in comparison.

I’m off to plunder Mr Harland’s back catalogue."

 

(D.M. Cornish is the author of international best-selling fantasy trilogy, Monster Blood Tattoo, recently nominated for a Nebula Award)
