Monkeys. Ninjas. Zeppelins. A science-fiction novel with a Steampunk
sheen and a primate twist, Ack-Ack Macaque is a blisteringly
fun SF masterpiece from master storyteller Gareth L. Powell.
In 1944, as waves of German ninjas parachute into Kent, Britain’s best
hopes for victory lie with a Spitfire pilot codenamed ‘Ack-Ack Macaque.’ The
trouble is he’s actually a cynical, one-eyed, cigar-chomping monkey, and he’s
starting to doubt everything – including his own existence!
A century later, when nuclear-powered Zeppelins circle the globe,
ex-journalist Victoria Valois is drawn into a deadly game with the man who killed
her husband and stole her electronic soul, while the heir to the British throne
goes on the run. Meanwhile, the doomsday clock ticks towards Armageddon...
Inventive,
unusual, full-on: Ack-Ack Macaque is the next title from the author of The Recollection, which brought a
stunning breath of fresh air into epic science-fiction.
