Human Front

Ken Macleod

Description

Winner of a Prometheus and Sidewise Award, The Human Front follows the adventures of a young Scottish guerrilla drawn into low-intensity sectarian war in a high-intensity future, when the arrival of an alien intruder calls for new tactics and strange alliances. Acclaimed British sci-fi author Ken MacLeod's unique vision is developed even further in a new commentary written especially for this edition, and in his delightful personal account of a Hebridean youth's first encounter with the post-capitalist world. Also featured is an outspoken interview with MacLeod.

“he Human Frontas pretty muc everyting you could ask from a great story: caracter, insigt, plot, tat quality of de- scription tat transports a feeling, sensation, incident or land- scape seemingly direct from world to mind, and revelation. It as substance. It sould make your mind reel, and work.” —Iain M. Banks

“As muc fun as [Macleod’s] books provide, it’s tat fierceness, tat seriousness of purpose, tat pow- ers teir engines and makes me want to read on.” —Locus

“he Human Frontis a complete knock out . . . elegant, eloquent and laug-out-loud funny. And tat last qual- ity by itself makes it wort te very weird trip.” —Rick Kleffel,he Agony Column

“Ken MacLeod brings dramatic life to some of te core issues of tecnology and umanity.” —Vernor Vinge
