New Model Army
Adam
Roberts' new novel is a terrifying vision of a near future war – a
civil war that tears the UK apart as new technologies allow the world's
first truly democratic army to take on the British army and wrest
control from the powers that be.
Taking advances in modern
communication and the new eagerness for power from the bottom upwards
Adam Roberts has produced a novel that is at once an exciting war novel
and a philosophical examination of war and democracy.
It shows
one of the UK's most exciting and innovative literary voices working at
the height of his powers and investing SF with literary significance
that is its due.
