This is BEDLAM
- - September 7th, 2012
Feast your eyes on this cover for Christopher Brookmyre’s amazing SF novel – BEDLAM! (UK|ANZ) Cover design by Mark Swan and Nico Taylor.
Would it be your ultimate fantasy to enter the world of a video game? A realm where you can fly space-ships, shoot zombies and slay dragons, yet all of it feels completely real.
Or would it be your worst nightmare? Stuck in an endless state of war and chaos where the pain feels real and from which not even death can offer an escape . . .
This is where you find out if you’re in a prison or a playground.
This is BEDLAM.
Coming February 2013.
“Like the best Science Fiction books, Bedlam utilises an alternative reality to pose deep philosophical questions about the human condition. Like the best Christopher Brookmyre books it also has funny jokes, characters you can empathise with and devastatingly employed swear words . . .” – comedian Ed Byrne

canny wait for bedlam! ya wee beauty, this will be another belter i am sure. a big boy did it and ran away was the first time i considered that video games could be useful in real life. it’s all fun and games gave scope for even yer maw and yer nanna to kick ass when situations call for it. sacred art of stealing gave one of the only powerful and capable female characters i have discovered in many years. truely canny wait for bedlam. pure excited so am ar.
