Review "Beautifully rendered Ballard the poet in full ecstatic blast." --Anthony Burgess "Of all the unknown regions Ballards imagination has opened up, this crystalline forest is the most haunting, with its golden orioles frozen in a lattice of jewels and men like conquistadores embalmed in diamond armour. The creation of the crystal world is something magical and not to be missed." --The Guardian Review Quote Of all the unknown regions Ballards imagination has opened up, this crystalline forest is the most haunting, with its golden orioles frozen in a lattice of jewels and men like conquistadores embalmed in diamond armour.
