Furthermore, it is fair to say that the main character of this story is not any of the individuals in it, but rather the eponymous community. The result is a novel that is highly satisfying, but oddly unfulfilling. I liked it a lot — but I still want more.

An orph, whispered Dr. Alimantando, heart pounding in awe. And how long will that be? Twenty-eight months? A communications systems warden: there are great events I must set in motion elsewhere! This dying thing is not as easy as I had imagined. Jericho, eager to gain the advantage. Alimantando studied the uninvited guest. He shrugged. Compiling a compendium of chronodynamic theories. The Exalted Ancestors threw the appropriate response to the surface of Mr. How long are you staying? Just one night. Pretty sure.

Alimantando beckoned with a cloth-wrapped finger and led them to a warm dry cave. This for you, the one connecting there for your equipment. Start your free 30 days. Page 1 of 1. An amazingly assured first novel. I've noticed that other online reviews see their favorite "odd" author in this novel, e.
For me, the strongest echoes were of R A Lafferty and Bradbury. But unlike Lafferty, who could never quite make the novel form work, or Bradbury, whose Martian Chronicles was clearly no coherent narrative, McDonald is able to weave this collection of tall tales into a cohesive whole. This is a Mars supposedly terraformed to its current livable state, but that's just to make it seem like SF. People travel by railroad or old planes, the traveling side show comes to town periodically, etc.
All important points in time have a repeating form, e. The stories tell of the founding, growth, heyday, and eventual downfall of the town of Desolation Road. I was concerned in the first chapter that archness and distance would make the book a hard slog, but either I or the author learned better.
The weakest section for me was the new SF space opera style war that occupies most of the final fifth of the book. Tachyonic beams, giant robots, people never just killed but blown into bloody smears, deaths by the 's of thousands -- all overkill, literally and figuratively. Fortunately the book's denouement recovers nicely. But I didn't.
