“it absolutely bowled me over … some of the most beautiful prose imaginable” – Jo Walton

“very, very recommended!” – Goodreads Reviewer, 5 stars

“This book is marvellous, weird, odd and at times poetic” – Amazon Reviewer, 5 stars

The journey to Desolation Road will introduce you to every conceivable abnormality; from its founding father – Dr. Alimantando, a scientist trying to understand the mysteries of time-travel – to the wonderfully strange identical triplets who fell in love with – and married – the same woman.

There’s nowhere quite like Desolation Road. Once you get there, you may never be the same again.

Reviews

This is the kind of novel I long to find yet seldom do . . . extraordinary and more than that
Philip José Farmer
it absolutely bowled me over . . . some of the most beautiful prose imaginable . . . If you ever want to demonstrate how different science fiction can be, what an incredible range and sweep of things are published with a little spaceship on the spine, Desolation Road is a shining datapoint
Jo Walton
Desolation Road pays homage to David Byrne's Catherine Wheel, to Ray Bradbury's entire canon and to Jack Vance, blending all these disparate creators in a way that surprises, delights, then surprises and delights again
Cory Doctorow
Flavoured with a voice that blends the delightful prose of Jack Vance with the idiosyncratic stylings of Cordwainer Smith
