A uniquely powerful novel of a society in decay. On a planet whose very nature is a mystery a massive decrepit city is pulled along a massive railway track, laying the line down before it as it progresses into the wilderness.

The society within toils under an oppressive regime, its structures always on the point of collapse, the lives of its individuals lived in misery. No one knows where they are going, why they are going or what they will find when they get there.

The ending of the novel provides one of the most profound twists in SF.

MEDIA REVIEWS
The exhilarating zip of the plot, sweeping you along to a conclusion that is thoroughly unexpected. A case study in sleight-of-hand on several levels. - Empire on THE PRESTIGE.

A narrative full of twists, turns and revelations. Behind all the surface trickery lies an intelligent and thoughtful novel about the nature of illusion and secrecy. - Observer on THE PRESTIGE.

I approached Inverted World with caution. Sci-fi was one of the few genres I hadn’t read much of. Theories and concepts that were beyond me ... and yet, the premise of this uniquely brilliant work was impossible to... More

“Belief, perception and reality”

This bleak novel is a fascinating study into perception belief and reality. It has much to say on the power of cults, brain washing and self deception.
This is a unique narrative with a well disguised twist in the... More
