Cover Art: Peter Gudyness Ilustrador. 1st UK Edition. © 1989: A stand-alone novel by Jack Butler. 1st UK edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: There's a vampire on Mars - and he's the good guy. On one Earth's two colonies John Shade - under the latest of his aliases - ranches genetically beefed up cattle and suffers a slow-burning loneliness that could make a stake through the heart look good. His black cape hides a cloak-and-dagger past - and certain habits best kept from the light of day. But even the general weirdness of life on Mars can't obscure the threatening oddity of the janglers, humans who've replaced brain tissue with digitalized intelligence. Tensions between janglers and proper wetbrains, Earth-born politicians and space cowboys are tipping a delicately balanced social order toward nightmare chaos. A mastermind familiar with Shade's secret (and his more-than-human powers) leans on him to nip this embryonic revolt in the bud. With a robot sidekick capable of tact as well as quantum physics, a jangler fire-eater barely out of her teens, and an assortment of loners and rebels, Shade sets out to save what's worth saving of 21st Century Mars:- Review(s): "'Nightshade' is a brilliant work of speculative fiction in the great tradition of 'A Clockwork Orange'" / "A great read. Tremendous" - New York Times Book Review / "Powerfully strange. Like all the best weirdness, it's a great feast" - Locus:- (original cost £5.99). Nº de ref. del artículo: 20.051.00176
