Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This fast-paced narrative by the author of Crash and Empire of the Sun is a stunning evocation of a flooded, tropical London of the near future and a foray into the workings of the unconscious mind. Fluctuations in solar radiation have melted the ice caps, sending the planet into a new Triassic Age of unendurable heat. London is a swamp; lush tropical vegetation grows up the walls of the Ritz and primeval reptiles are sighted, swimming through the newly-formed lagoons. Some flee the capital; others remain to pursue reckless schemes, either in the name of science or profit. While the submerged streets of London are drained in search of treasure. Dr Robert Kerans part of a group of intrepid scientists comes to accept this submarine city and finds himself strangely resistant to the idea of saving it.First published in 1962, Ballards mesmerising and ferociously imaginative novel gained him widespread critical acclaim and established his reputation as one of Britains finest writers of science fiction.This edition is part of a new commemorative series of Ballards works, featuring introductions from a number of his admirers (including James Lever, Ali Smith, Hari Kunzru and Martin Amis) and brand-new cover designs. When London is lost beneath the rising tides, unconscious desires rush to the surface in this apocalyptic tale from the author of Crash and Empire of the Sun, reissued here with an introduction from Martin Amis.
