Deja Vu
There’s a new addition to spike alumni who have had a book published - Ian Hocking, who’s contributed several sterling reviews to spike, has also found time to write Deja Vu, a technothriller that’s guaranteed to be a cut above the usual efforts of that genre. Ken
MacLeod reckons it’s “a crisply-written, fast-paced thriller that makes assured use of cutting-edge science fiction ideas”. I reckon you should make a sharp exit to Dr Hocking’s website or the publisher’s webpage and read the synopsis for yourself.
(I was tempted to end with “and experience Deja Vu for yourself” but I’ve received so many god-awful book press releases recently that even my masochistic love of excruciating cliches is temporarily exhausted. I’m seriously tempted to start another blog along the lines of the genius-like Query Letters I Love where I simply post the worst book press releases I receive. I can’t quite understand how so many press releases about books can be so uniformly badly written and badly spelt. Someone deal with it).
Anyway, enough of that. Go experience some Deja Vu for yourself.
Bugger.
