SALTIRE SOCIETY SCOTTISH FIRST BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
Tim Armstrong has brought the counter-culture of his native Seattle to shape the first genuine sci-fi novel in Gaelic. Musicians fleeing their redundant planet are chased across the galaxy by a half-crocodile cop and a sinister female re-cluse with very nasty intent. Secretive power and racial ortho-doxy are among the issues raised.
