Imagine a world that is one of infinite parallel worlds, that hangs
suspended between triumph and catastrophe, the dismantling of the
Wall and the fall of the Twin Towers, in the shadow of suicide
terrorism and global financial collapse. Presiding over this world
is the Concern, an all-powerful organisation whose operatives
possess extraordinary powers. There is Temudjin Oh, an unkillable
assassin who journeys between the high passes of Nepal, a version
of Victorian London and a wintry Venice; Adrian Cubbish, restlessly
greedy City trader; and the Philosopher, a state-sponsored torturer
who moves between the time zones with sinister ease. Transition is
a high-definition, hyper-real apocalyptic fable for terrible times.
