This book is an incredibly clever thing. Lots of characters from past present and future. All terribly different but all linked by a comet shaped birth mark. It boomerangs through time and leaves you wishing each character had their own War and Peace scale novel all to themselves. The cover I drew for it is inspired by a scene set far in the future, in which an artificially generated waitress steps outside her employers walls for the first time in her life.
"Overwhelming: the apposite word. Outside's many flavoured air; fumes, kim-chee, sewage, consumers bodies. A running consumer missed me by an inch, "Watch out, clone!" She had gone before i could apologise. My hair was mussed by the breath of a giant, invisible aircon" - David Mitchell.
