There's a mad ELECTRIC CHURCH offer from Orbit at the moment offering a prize of anti-surveillance technology to protect you from electronic monks. The gizmos include a wallet with a built-in Faraday cage...I thought at first it was just a wild spoof, but all the gadgets appear to be real and on sale from an actual site! The world is clearly stranger than I realised....(Or am I being duped?) The excerpting is a new Orbit scheme affecting the mass market paperbacks....ELECTRIC CHURCH will have the first few chapters of DEBATABLE SPACE at the back, DEBATABLE SPACE will have the first few chapters of some other Orbit novel (don't yet know what), etc etc, linking all the Orbit authors in a massive virtual daisy chain. It's a cool idea because it means you finish one book and immediately get ideas about whioh book you should buy next... I think you’ll enjoy it Chris…

I don't know why. Excerpted in what way? I'm just being dumb, probably :D Nice one, anyway!

Many years since I read Jerry Cornelius - maybe I should get my duster out and revisit those books. Enjoy Electric Church! The cover is indeed great…

Wed, 03 Oct 2007 14:02:12 +0000 http://www.philippalmer.net/2007/09/28/on-the-electric-church/#comment-34 I ordered this one from the latest Forbidden Planet catalogue, so very pleased to learn there is much coolness within those pages (and beneath what seems to be a great Jae Lee cover)! Once I'm done with Moorcock's The Lives and Times of Jerry Cornelius it's some Electric Church going for me.

I'm well chuffed that I'll be excerpted at the end of Electric Church, and flattered also. Anyway that's enough nice stuff. Tell me more about the evil of your corporate masters...

Really glad you enjoyed the book, especially since I'm looking forward to reading Debatable Space--which, people should know, is excerpted at the end of The Electric Church.
