About this eBook
On the barren surface of an asteroid, located deep in the galaxy beneath the unbearable light of the Kefahuchi Tract, lie three objects: an abandoned spacecraft, a pair of bone dice covered with strange symbols, and a human skeleton.
What they are and what they mean are the mysteries explored and unwrapped in LIGHT, M. John Harrison's triumphant novel.

I kept reading for the point where it would all make sense. And right at the end, it ended. No great understanding. The language is a little disjointed. I've rarely read a book where I had to reread paragraphs just to understand what was being said. It's almost like a foreign book translated into English via Google translate.

A wild ride full of stunning ideas, an hallucinogenic dismantling of reality, shot through with very dark humour.

The best SF I've read in the last 10 years. Disturbing and moving.
