Each successive astronaut has gazed back and found our magic marble a little less blue. The Moon landings offered a promise which is never likely to be delivered. Maybe the only solar system we can explore is as a concept and collection of myths, ideas and images of Venus, Mars, Mercury and so forth; to wit, the planets in our heads... A tour de force of memory, mythology and astronomy, this is the most audacious debut novel of the 1990s.
