About the Book
Violent rebellion comes to London’s middle classes.
Like every obedient professional, I arrived punctually for my appointment with a revolution.
When a bomb explosion at Heathrow airport kills psychologist David Markham’s ex-wife, he sets out on a journey to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death. As he infiltrates a shadowy group of middle-class revolutionaries based in the comfortable Chelsea Marina, Markham soon finds himself swept up in a bourgeois insurrection that is sending the capital into panic.
Critical Praise
‘Unsettling and subversive … terrifically good’ Sunday Times
'Terrifying and strangely haunting … A riveting work from a writer of rare imaginative largesse, a bearer of bad tidings, unforgettably told' Daily Telegraph
'Wonderfully warped, blackly comic … written with Ballard's customary panache, its potent mix of sex, violence and radicalism will keep his fans happy’ Economist
‘Ballard’s instinct for the future is unnerving … Very few writers possess this kind of intelligence: to use it with such wit is almost criminal’ Independent on Sunday
‘The terrifying thing about Ballard is his logic; is this science fiction or history written ahead of its time?’ Len Deighton
