'A page-turner whose end left me almost physically applauding.' Michael Moorcock, New Statesman

1941. In the chaos of wartime Marseille, American engineer and occult disciple Jack Parsons seeks to capture and channel the imaginative power of the Surrealists, in order to defeat the Reich. His experiment will change the course of the war - and the face of the city - forever.

1950. A lone Surrealist fighter, Thibaut, walks a new and hallucinogenic Paris where Nazis and the Resistance are trapped in unending conflict, and the streets are stalked by living images and texts - and by the forces of Hell. To escape the city, Thibaut must join forces with Sam, an American photographer intent on recording the ruins.

But Sam is being hunted. And new secrets will emerge that will test all their loyalties - to each other, to Paris old and new, and to reality itself.

'A hallucinatory jeu d'esprit . . . Fun, very inventive and thoughtful, particularly for readers interested in Surrealism's revolutionary politics. I loved it.' Daily Telegraph

'Joyously vivid . . . thrills with the sheer depth of its ambition, invention and historical detail.' Glasgow Sunday Herald
