Publisher Description
John Truck was to outward appearances just another lowlife spaceship captain. But he was also the last of the Centaurans, or at least half of him was, which meant that he was the only person who could operate the Centauri Device, a sentient bomb which might hold the key to settling a vicious space war.
M. John Harrison's classic novel turns the conventions of space opera on their head, and is written with the precision and brilliance for which is famed.

The Centauri device
Wonderful, seedy, dark and compelling. The writing is amazingly intricate, yet precise. Loved it.

Magnificent immersion
Beautiful prose that brings the reader so close to the experience of the narrative, full of insight, poetic in its immediacy, narrative craft at the highest level.
