It's the final curtain call for flame-haired rock princess Fiorinda and her comrades Ax Preston and Sage Pender—a 21st century Guinevere, King Arthur, and Sir Lancelot. Together, the Triumvirate have fought to save their Britain, and America—indeed, the whole world—from the depredations of a collapsed economy and environmental meltdown. Together they have fought the evil magic of Fiorinda's wizard father; they have explored the depths and heights of ultimate consciousness, the fusion between mind and the world. And they have discovered a love that goes back centuries, and lives. But is all this enough to save a world that has fallen apart at the seams, a world that has given itself over to the dark side?
The final book in Jones's Bold as Love series (after 2005's Band of Gypsies) wraps up the story of the Rock and Roll Reich, a group whose story has gotten too convoluted for new readers. Much of the novel focuses on the state of postwar England, with the elements of Arthurian myth, rock 'n' roll, and political commentary that Jones has spread throughout this series. There's much to like—not least the subversion of the traditional resistance fighting the invaders trope—and fans of the previous books will find it rewarding, but even they will likely find the middle sections overlong.
"If you like the radical Utopian politics of Ken MacLeod, you're sure to enjoy this series." -- Barbara Davies STARBURST
