The gone-away world

Review

If Harkaway's language was a pirate ship (and it would be), it would sail in improbable places, rob you blind, make out with your lover, clog your toilet and have you thank the crew. There are Tai Chi masters hunted by ninjas, a bomb whose fallout creates monsters from your thoughts, a hell with mimes and some poor sod who is always in the wrong place at the wrong time. A great rollicking book.
