Blurb: “In the red, sun-drenched sands of the Martian desert is a little town on the edge of nowhere that should never have existed at all. Founded by accident and nurtured on the bizarre and wondrous dreams of the planets outcasts, Desolation Road sprang into being. And in its short, thirty-vear history it entertained every conceivable cosmic abnormality the Multiverse had to offer, from Adam Blacks Wonderful Travelling Chautauqua and Educational
'Stravaganza (with captive heavenly angel) to The Amazing Scorn-Mutant Master of Scintillating
Sarcasm and Rapid Repartee. And in this inconsequential place was fought a battle so extraordinary that time itself had to be readjusted:
"A spectacular first novel.... magine a cross between
Bradbury's Martian Chronicles and Marquez's Hundred Years of Solitude, and you'll get some idea of Desolation Road....madly memorable." -Locus
"Intelligent, idiosyncratic, and almost impossible to describe adequately." —Science Fiction Chronicle”
