Ian McDonald's Desolation Road is

By at 6:06 pm Sunday, Aug 19

Ian McDonald's Desolation Road is one of the books that has influenced me the most as a writer. Funny and sad and wildly imaginative, it characterizes the heyday of Bantam Spectra's groundbreaking work in the 80s. McDonald's just published a sequel, Ares Express and Earthlight, the sequel's publisher, has reprinted Desolation Road to accompany it. What a book! Link Discuss
