Reviews / Votes
"A disturbing and bizarre journey by one of the great masters of weird fiction." "Noon is a fiercely urban writer. [He] reflects the energy of the rave generation: the hammer and twist of the music, the language of the computer games addict and the buzz of technology." "Noon's blend of quirky ideas, striking prose and imaginative characterisations establishes him as one of the most original voices in imaginative fiction." "Intriguingly textured, reliably witty and inventive, Noon's whirling purposeful fantasy packs a full whallop." "An intoxicating and rewarding experience" "One of our finest writers...Within Without is a tour de force of surrealist SF"More details
