In this book Wilhelmina Baird uses a pungent, noirish written style you'll either love or hate - once I settled into it I loved her tough, witty dialogue and the edgy, sinister world her charactors inhabit. This is the first of her books I have read, and on the strength of it I'll certainly be looking out for more. The plot revolves around the efforts of three main charactors - Cass, Mokey and Dosh - to survive in a crumbling future city in which they are part of a disregarded underclass. They need to earn enough money to get offworld before Dosh gets killed by one of his more sadistic clients, but with current occupations such as theif, artist and whore, finances are none too regular.
Cue a mysterious offer of money and stardom - a part for each of them in a film which will earn enough money to escape the brutal drudgery of earth - but will they survive the shoot? In these apocalyptic times, life is cheap and actors often meet grisly ends in productions where the viewer gets to experience the emotions of the victims and the premium is on ultraviolence. And there are no scripts. And no one tells you when the shooting begins... Packed full of feral and awesomely physically augmented badguys, plus some similarly equipped, equally amoral goodguys, the plot takes a headlong dash into an underworld where one false call can be lethal, and horribly so. The charactors are raw and engaging, the technology superb and the nous, bravery and chutzpah of the heroine will make you want to stand up and cheer. Add in the subplot of the three protagonists faltering relationship, an exploration of voyeurism and what it means to be seen/not seen, and you have a paranoid stew of charactors who are either fruitlessly looking over their shoulders, unaware of being watched, or are themselves invisible.
