Praise for Slabscape: Dammit:
"Great read, fun, fast paced and a really interesting mystery in a future setting."
"Bakers writing style is creative, humour filled, and generates some fantastic ideas to contemplate."
"an excellent follow on from Slabscape: Reset"
"The 'Slabscape' saga is a compulsive read for all those with a vivid imagination, a strange sense of humour and a passion for sci-fi."
"The best deep space/far future sci-fi this side of Iain M Banks and Alistair Reynolds."
Praise for the Slabscape series:
“a great read for Sci–Fi fans and other humans”
“Slabscape soon began to feel like a curious fusion of Douglas Adams and Iain M Banks, Hitchikers and Culture. Perhaps even a little Harry Harrison too.”
"I had forgotten how truly funny great sci-fi can be…….I laughed a lot, believe me!"
“I’ve read quite a lot of sci-fi novels and I would easily put Slabscape in my top 5 and I highly recommend you stop reading reviews and go get this book.”
"by dice this is great"
"There are many chapters in this book that remind me of HARRY HARRISON at his best,and for me that is saying something."
"Hilarious!"
"I’ve been reading hard core science fiction all my adult life and I must say that I really enjoyed this novel… It didn’t take long to realise that there was a great story instead. It really does take a number of ideas and explores their impact on people."
Somebody’s slung a stop sign over a solar system and Slab is heading straight for it.
Stopping is not an option. Slab is over a thousand kilometres long, travelling at near-lightspeed and the thirty-two million humans, NAHs, avatars and irritating minorities who inhabit the Slabscape are on a mission; they’re going Home and wouldn’t stop even if they could. The humancontiguation of the SlabCouncil, having long suspected that Slab would eventually cross paths with someone or something who got in their way, had a policy regarding alien interventions: ignore them.
Louie Drago is not a happy hologram. He lets the council interns know exactly what he thinks of their plan and implements one of his own.
Dielle, a reset who remembers nothing of his previous life on Earth, is trying hard to forget one of the few things he does know: that before he was frozen for over three-hundred years, he used to be Louie Drago. After a bizarre offer from Slab’s preeminent gamer he’s forcibly liberated from the care and protection of the SlabWide Integrated System.
Meanwhile, the Cosmic Tit delivers an exiled version of Louie to the site of a four-hundred-year-old Earth mystery.
It’s only when parts of a local solar system start disappearing that council is forced to do something the interns will deny until the end of the universe (or tea-time, depending on your asynchronology).
Slabscape: Dammit is the second novel in the Slabscape series by S.Spencer Baker.
