β¦ Synopsis
The odds of surviving quantum teleportation to the Exodus Universe are, more or less, fifty/fifty. The only ones crazy enough to try it are the desperate, the insane and those sentenced to death for their crimes. Belladonna is home to the survivors and, in a planet run by criminals and desperados, death is commonplace. But a particularly horrific (and improbable) killing attracts the Galactic Police force, and a cyborg cop is sent to investigate. Version 43 has been here before, and has old scores to settle. The cop was human once, but is now more programme than man. And he intends to clean up this planet, permanently, whatever the cost.
Review
Mix the literary DNA of Iain M. Banks, Neal Asher, and Douglas Adams and the result might approximate Version 43, Philip Palmer s zany, over-the-top, violent, inventive, cynical, and at times surprisingly optimistic and even downright poignant space opera... smart, satirical romp. --Locus
