Quatermass by Nigel Kneale

ianbanks's review

4.0

Grim and unrelenting but compelling and very readable. My only qualm would be the joy the author fears from describing his mess of a future. The characters are very well-drawn despite many suffering the fate of having their life stories given out in vast dollops at a time rather than be interesting in their own right. The links to the other stories in the series are subtle and don't get in the way despite informing many aspects of the worldbuilding.
