Although it is in the first person and does not convey the companionship of TLOTR...
The brutality and desperate hope engendered by the book and the raw, alien and Cthulu mythos (this bloke taught Lovecraft), underlying the action is so stark and uncomfortable that I feel that this book is a great classic of it's time.

It contains every aspect you would expect from a major current motion picture, Sci-Fi, Love, Action, Danger, Consideration, Intelligence, and I am sure everyone would find something within it to relate to.

I can't wait till it's in print. Until then I will continue my search of old bookshops.

Unforgettable despite its flaws

This book is brilliant, creating a world of images unlike any I've ever encountered before. The description of the marvelous horrors surrounding the Redoubt is superb. The feeling of total alienness is excellent.

The book is written in a pseudo-archaic language which takes some getting used to. The detail is sometimes excessive. No, it's not necessary for us to be made aware of every food pill that the hero consumes. But by far the worst part of the book is the hero's mawkish, sappy, absurd relationship with his girlfriend. The story gets back on track after she mercifully is injured and rendered unconscious, so they can't bleat at each other anymore or make moony eyes.
