It was Mei Sheong, her hair corkscrewing around her head in bundles of absurd pink curls. It cost her a week's pay out of every month's earnings to have it done. I'd suggested a straight replant, even genetic manipulation, but she reckoned that was bad karma. Who am I to argue with a chino-shaman?

- UK Sci-Fi/Fantasy publisher Orbit are going to publish NYLON ANGEL The First Parrish Plessis by australian writer Marianne de Pierres in january of next year, with the sequel due in july of the same year. Orbit are a mixed bag, authors like iain m. banks and ken macleod are interesting, but they also tend towards fantasy too much for my taste. reading this extract there is clearly a very heavy style, with clearly derivative results, leaves me undecided, it could work or it could be really horrible. my impression is that it could get really annoying really quick if the book didn't develop fast enough.
