A very different book to any of Terry's previous offerings and far more Stephen Baxter. Terry's influence is in the oddities and quirks of the story rather than the basic plot. - Keep your potato with you.
Dodger is a Dickensian Discworld with a brilliant central character. Dodger for me is a combination of Vime's street savvy, Carrot's chivalry, Nobby's light fingers and the intelligence of Vetinary.
Currently delving into the madness of Robert Rankin with
The Mechanical Messiah and Other Marvels of the Modern Age.
