Vurt

About this book

Vurt is a feather--a drug, a dimension, a dream state, a virtual reality. It comes in many colors: legal Blues for lullaby dreams. Blacks, filled with tenderness and pain, just beyond the law. Pink Pornovurts, doorways to bliss. Silver feathersfor techies who know how to remix colors and open new dimensions. And Yellows--the feathersfrom which there is no escape. The beautiful young Desdemona is trapped in Curious Yellow, the ultimate Metavurt, a featherfew have ever seen and fewer still have dared ingest. Her brother Scribble will risk everything to rescue his beloved sister. Helped by his gang, the Stash Riders, hindered by shadowcops, robos, rock and roll dogmen, and his own dread, Scribble searches along the edges of civilization for a featherthat, if it exists at all, must be bought with the one thing no sane person would willingly give. "As hip and breathless as William Gibson, but spiced with dark humor and the horrible realisation that Noon knows of what he writes....Vurtis passionate, distinctive, demanding and enthrallingfirst-time novelist Noon has started with a bang."The London Times.
