Small octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition. Third book of the "neoAddix" sequence. "Lady Clare Fabio's daughter LizAlec has been kidnapped and Fixx Valmont has been set to try and track her down and rescue her. Meanwhile the Third Napoleonic Empire in France is under siege from the Fourth Reich, and a virus is eating its wa…y through the steel of Europe . Trade paperback format. This is less cyberpunk than the first two volumes [NEOADDIX and LUCIFER'S DRAGON], although an AI and augmented humans do play major roles. The punk element is perhaps more to the fore. It is head and shoulders above Grimwood's first two novels, and is in some ways reminiscent of Jack Womack's fiction." - Butler, The Pocket Essential Cyberpunk, pp. 60-1. A fine copy. U.S. issue with ISBN and U.S. dollar stickers affixed to rear cover. (#146780).

Octavo, boards. First edition. First book of the "Arabesk" sequence, followed by EFFENDI: THE SECOND ARABESK (2002) and FELAHEEN: THE THIRD ARABESK (2003). The "Arabesk" series "is set in the near future North Africa of an alternate history world in which Germany won World War One . a very contemporary world . simultaneously har…d-boiled and shifty. Most of the SF elements in the trilogy -- in particular the turns of plot based on genetic engineering -- add to a sense that the world Grimwood depicts is as predetermined and as volatile as the twenty-first century world he engages." - John Clute, SFE (online). "Grimwood has frequently addressed the twin themes of identity and the autonomy of artificial intelligence in his novels, but PASHAZADE, and its sequels EFFENDI and FELAHEEN, tackle these issues head-on. Set in a small North African country, in the not-so-distant future, the series follows the fortunes of Ashraf Bey or Rafi, a young man of uncertain parentage and identity, who possesses a body that has been augmented with some sort of AI. His efforts to maintain a stable persona as Rafi, distinct from his AI and from his former identity, ZeeZee, reflect the struggles of El Iskandriya, his newly adopted country, to maintain its own political autonomy in the face of threats from larger powers and from internal political threats that would otherwise tear the country apart. Thus Grimwood explicitly makes the personal political and vice versa, all this set against the backdrop of a vividly realized desert landscape." - Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-470. A fine copy in fine dust jacket. (#146406).
