Customer Reviews

An excellent book which would make a great film

This is one of Phil's strangest books as it contains few , if none of his themes or trademarks. It is a simple story of a man, Paul Eyre, who accidentally kills an alien and through this becomes transformed. Phil manages to squeeze in one pun and a sly dig at science fiction writers through his character Leo Queequeg Tincrowdor. It is a simply plotted and quick read but like Phil's best work some ideas and images will stay with you forever, especially in the final part where Phil describes Paul Eyre's flight around Earth after he is transformed into an alien.All in all a very good read which is just dying to be filmed.
