A fast-moving fantasy novel, a no-holds-barred novel written on an
adult level, about the war on terror. In the city state of Oolong
Morblock, where a certain proportion of the people have a natural
ability to cause themselves to explode, in effect making them
potential suicide bombers, Ibrahim Chess tries to find the middle
road: to steer a course of moderation and sanity in a world which
is going mad, and where the civil peace is threatened by the
increasingly intolerant fanaticism of the conflict between the
minority group to which Ibrahim belongs, the astrals, and the city
state's dominant group, the norms. Note: this book contains some
disturbing scenes. If you do not find something in this book to
disturb you then you are a seriously disturbed person. Are you a
person of exquisite good taste? Then, sorry, but you are
disqualified as a reader. This book pretty much takes the attitude
that boundaries (especially boundaries of taste) are there to be
breached. You have been warned!
