Summary

[edit]

Bruno and his band The Hermetic Tradition visit the North Kent coast where they plan to hold an open-air cliff-top concert. Events take an unusual turn when the band meet a fish capable of eating and doubling the things it finds.[2]

Reception

[edit]

Spider Robinson dismissed the novel, saying "there just ain't all that much right with it. . . . It's a shame writers have to do this stuff to stay alive."[3]
