About this title

From the Back Cover:

After a trip around the universe, Inquisitor Dagon of the starship 'Sardanapalus' has returned to Earth. Armed with Gun, his bossy talking weapon, Dagon plans the final stage of his mission: to wipe out the plague of Meta, the virus that transforms teenage girls into killer Dolls – Dead Girls. However, the virus has unleashed machine consciousness and Dagon himself is infected. He’s a Dead Boy. Even so he can dream of a universe in which his Dead sister Primavera is once more fully human. Dreams are Dead Things.

“One of the most promising post-cyberpunk talents .. a brilliant writer of “nanofash” science fiction.”
SCIENCE FICTION EYE

“A clarity of vision at once unique and disturbing ... cutting edge sf, taut, provocative.”
LIBRARY JOURNAL

“Calder brilliantly evokes a Third World seething with strange out-of-control technologies ... disturbing originality which explodes in your face like a fistful of fireworks.”
