“Futuristic 2067. The state have managed to make the workers addicted to a drug which makes them compliant and submissive.
By working hard they are promised a trip ‘Home’ where everything will be great.
I found it hard to believe an 11 year old flying a fighter plan and taking on adults.

“A collection of linked short stories.
The first is the best. Takes place in The Plantation Club, a seedy gay dive in Soho. Has a twist which continues through the rest of the stories.
Very funny (the first one) and then a bit confusing, Will Self on form. Oh and I listened to this and he reads it brilliantly.

“Not sure there is much worth saying about this book.
I gave up on page 69. Very tame and slow English 50’s mystery with an 11 year of amateur detective… Dribble.
