Wow, that sounds great! I'll move that up my list of things to read soon.

"Only Forward" is great! I mean, the plot structure takes a perpendicular turn halfway through, and it gets incoherent toward the end, and it starts off wanting to be a Neal Stephenson book but winds up wanting to be a Neil Gaiman book. There are wonderful set pieces among all the confusion, however, and nobody on Earth writes better household appliances than Michael Marshall Smith.
The author seems to be doing better in the American market writing thrillers under the name Michael Marshall. I picked "The Straw Men" up used, but haven't gotten around to reading it yet.
