About this eBook
The Sun is about to go Nova. Earth and Moon have ceased their axial rotation and present one face continuously to the sun. The bright side of Earth is covered with carnivorous forest. This is the Age of vegetables. Gren and his lady - not to mention the tummybelly men - journey to the even more terrifying Dark side. One of Aldiss' most famous and long-enduring novels, fast moving, packed with brilliant imagery.

what a wierd book! it's very, very disjointed and leaps from one wildly implausible Hodge, to another fantastic Podge. I hate the pot bellied idiots and the dolphin prophet, they just rankled me no end.. There's no rhyme or reason at all to this story, it's a wierd shambles. The best concept was the moon civilization, but the author left us high and dry on that front. All in all it's tripe.
