'Classic Ballard. Mesmerising. No one writes with such haunting
impact' William Boyd In parched, war-torn central Africa, Dr
Mallory watches his clinic fail and dreams of discovering a third
Nile to make the Sahara bloom. During his search for water, an
ancient tree stump is uprooted by a bulldozer and water wells up,
spreading until it becomes an enormous river. With the once arid
land now abounding in birds and beasts, the obsessed Mallory forges
up-river in an old car ferry, clashing with hostile factions as he
tries to find the source of his own creation. This edition is part
of a new commemorative series of Ballard's works, featuring
introductions from a number of his admirers (including Ali Smith,
Iain Sinclair, Martin Amis and Ned Beauman) and brand-new cover
designs from the artist Stanley Donwood.
