Jeff Noon Omnibus
by Jeff Noon
Two brilliant and original novels from Jeff Noon, for the first time in omnibus. Vurt: Take a trip in a stranger's head. Along rainshot streets with the stash riders, a posse of hip malcontents, hooked on the most powerful drug you can imagine. Vurt feathers... But as the Game Cat says, Be careful, be very careful. This ride is not for the weak... Scribble isn't listening. He has to find his lost love. A journey towards the ultimate, perhaps even mythical, Vurt Feather... Curious Yellow. Pollen: The sweet death of Coyote, master taxi driver, was only the first. Soon people are sneezing and dying all over Manchester. Telekinetic cop Sybil Jones knows that, like Coyote, they died happy – but even a happy death can be a murder. As exotic blooms begin to flower all over the city, the pollen count is racing towards 2000 and Sybil is running out of time.
