Customer Review

SF Folio Gallimard published version pocket, by offering therefore a good audience of potential readers, this post-apocalyptic novel by Lawrence Whale originally published in White River, endearing collection dotted with texts often minor but interesting influences in River Black Anticipation.
The near future, more or less by a conquantaine years, where our globalized society exploded socially due to economic scarcity, pollution and corruption of elites. In short, the nation states have imploded and the man is back in fashion independent small communities surrounded by wild-man's lands where reign excluded or unlucky (the "off-walls" with their little rabid and hungry side that therefore be avoided).
A finally put up enough credible and well presented so clearly puts us the mouth water. Another positive point is a rather nice heroes, peace and love will be forced to put his passion for aviation and his role as messenger of the air, as barter (remember "Postman" in principle) to his small service suburban community rather authoritarian manner administered by the mayor of the place, under the threat of an unknown invasion from the north and pushing before it a multitude of refugees.
Until then, a good half-two-thirds of the novel, all is well and the pages scroll nicely.
And the influence collection negative "Anticipation" comes galloping and war scenes are linked to the high speed large V surreal scope of the plot, with caricatures that multiply and end more "twists and turns" that one could not possibly imagine. In short, the last 20 pages of the hands and fall if the stars presented negative swing of future suicidal tailspin triggered by the last quarter of the novel spoil much of the pleasure that is found in fact somewhat vaporized ...
A novel nevertheless interesting in that it arouses curiosity and keeping awake long to disappoint the reader, rather happy and involved in the context start and the first sequences of the plot. In short, a true summary of the defunct Black River in collection that could reproach him to the point that one wonders if even the bad are not voluntary!
Finally, a third positive result to two that we will advise the curious SF fans of everything but not to readers seeking consisting of solid and controlled from start to finish.
All air cons context is perfectly natural, because we are old models or solar flying wings last cries, and he should not throw this key point of the story with the latest missile shared this opinion.
Despite this, we should also salute the courage of Folio SF that is not content to draw in large SF catalogs and helps the blow of authors and small collections that need well.
