Amherst: Pyr (Prometheus Books):, 2010. Advance Uncorrected Proof, Trade paperback, Fine, 389 pp. Cover artwork by: Stephan Martiniere "Taking place in the kaleidoscopic future of Ian McDonald's highly-praised DESOLATION ROAD, ARES EXPRESS is set upon a terraformed Mars where fusion-powered locomotives run along the network of rails that are the planet's circulatory system and artificial intelligences reconfigure reality billions of times each second. One young woman, Sweetness Octave Glorious-Honeybun Asiim 12th, becomes the person upon whom the future - or futures - of Mars depends. Driven away from the locomotive that has always been her home by the thought of a boring marriage and an all-consuming wanderlust, she consults her dead twin, Little Pretty One, about her future. But that future will take in religious cults, artificial intelligences that are as gods - and the gods themselves." Advance Uncorrected Proof, Trade paperback, Fine,
