When a genius inventor is seduced by a mysterious firm to create a
robot, technology may save him - or be his undoing ... Lose
yourself in this dystopian novel by the bestselling author of The
Alexandria Quartet. 'A superb craftsman and stylist.' New York
Times Felix Charlock is a world-famous inventor. His scientific
genius draws him into the web of a sinister multinational
corporation called Merlin who recruit him for their own ends. When
Felix is married into this wealthy family, 'The Firm' sets him an
impossible project, demanding that he reinvents his former lover as
a living, breathing replica. But creating this perfect robot
facsimile heralds a new era of destruction, threatening not only
Felix's sanity, but his very existence ... Consisting of two novels
- Tunc and its sequel, Numquam - The Revolt of Aphrodite is a
dystopian novel of ideas, rich in mystery and drama, with an epic
global sweep and dazzling cast. Showing literary master Lawrence
Durrell at his most conceptually ambitious, this tale of a modern
Frankenstein will revolutionise the way you view technology
forever. 'Scenes of wild and deliberate fantasy ... [of] peculiar
and disturbing poignancy.' New Statesman 'Such readability ... Few
writers can tell a story better.' Observer
