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.

Praise for Desolation Road
-
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 DoctorowIt 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 WaltonFlavoured with a voice that blends the delightful prose of Jack Vance with the idiosyncratic stylings of Cordwainer Smith - SF Site
