Condición: Very Good. Tight and unmarked-" A novel of 8 individual short stories:- Contents: Kitemaster / Kitecadet / Kitemistress / Kitecaptain / Kiteservant / Kitewaif / Kitemariner / Kitekillers:- Synopsis: The Realm of Kiteworld has survived nuclear catastrophe and is governed by a feudal and militant religious oligarchy - t…he Church Variant. In the outer Badlands, real or imagined Demons are kept at bay by flying defensive structures of giant interlocking Cody kites piloted by an elite and brave Corps of Observers. Through a series of 'Kite' stories, we are drawn compellingly into a strange but recognizable world where loyalty to the Corps is everything and non-conformity a sin. Keith Roberts depicts the fortunes, passions, and failings of his characters against this background of a fragile and superstitious society. As the fanatical Ultras embark on a religious campaign of destruction, the Realm starts to disintegrate - fast:- Review(s): "Keith Roberts remains one of Britain's best-kept literary secrets: a baffling state of affairs that 'Kiteworld', another of Robert's extraordinary time-slips into a parallel universe, should go most of the way to redressing" - Time Out / "In his best book since the legendary 'Pavane', the author's wondrous myth-making here creates a world with all the circumstances of truth and all the clarity of hallucination. It is a quite remarkable feat in contemporary science-fiction" - The Times.
