IAN MCDONALD COMES A STUNNING NOVEL OF A FUTURE EARTH IN WHICH LIFE AND DEATH ARE

RADICALLY ALTERED....

It is a few decades after a revolutionary technology has given humans the ability to resurrect the dead. Segregated into areas called necrovilles, the ever-increasing ranks of the risen dead have created a wild culture, untouched by the restrictions of the law-except that the dead cannot stray into the realm of the living, nor the living into the teeming necrovilles, after nightfall.

It is November 1, the Day of the Dead. Artist Santiago Columbar, whose works melt and reconfigure reality for his many disciples, has grown bored with the realities at his command. There is one reality he has yet to try, the culmination of his life as an artist: He will venture into the forbidden streets of the Saint John dead town, and there walk willingly into the open arms of death. At Santiago's invitation, four of his friends will meet in Saint John to record his transformation. As the necroville erupts into the first volley of the.revolution against the living, each will face danger and adventure in the wild streets of the dead... and find that life has changed forever.”
