New From Twelfth Planet

Alisa Krasnostein has sent me another new novel, and this one looks very interesting. Trucksong is set in post-apocalyptic Australia, and might be described as like Mad Max were is not for the fact that the bad guys are not human, they are giant cyborg trucks. The book also comes with a free alternate version written in a dialect invented for the novel (shades of Feersum Endjinn, though of course Banks didn’t invent that dialect) and background music composed and performed by the author. This sounds totally the sort of thing that small presses are there to bring to market. Nice job, Alisa.
