Douglas Jackson achieved a measure of fame in the Uk with this debut novel by scoring a very lucrative publishing deal on it and its proposed successor from Random House.[/quote]
Yep, I've been wanting to read it for some time as it looks excellent. I will definitely be buying the paperback when it is released in February next year.
