Swiftly, By Adam Roberts (The Independent)

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 23:00:01 GMT

It's a preposterous suggestion: Gulliver's Travels turns out to be a factual account. The thimble-sized Lilliputians and the giant Brobdingnagians really do exist.

London College professor of nineteenth-century English literature Adam Roberts, writing under the alias Don Brine (a perversion of Dan Brown), has written a parody of Brown’s book called The Da Vinci Cod: A Fishy...

A Discussion about Swiftly (Torque Control)

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 08:06:32 GMT

Since the Matter discussion went down so well, I’ve decided to turn it into a regular, or at least semi-regular feature. On the table this time: Adam Roberts’ ninth novel, which is “a rip-roaring 19th century adventure, a love story and a thought-provoking pre-atomic SF novel about our place in the universe.” Or is it? Your [...]
