Earlier this year I was called up for jury service at the Old Bailey. As it turned out, I was not in the end required to attend a trial, and was released after a few days which were spent mostly sitting around in large chilly rooms, reading inscriptions on walls and looking at statues of dead monarchs. Although the staff did everything they could to make it as un-Kafkaesque an experience as possible, a sinister mutant form of the episode has duly emerged for perusal in paperback and PDF at unfeasibly reasonable prices. As with Spider Rider, Crimes Against Reality and several others on my unfailingly available backlist, that fine cover image is by Giovanna Ceroni.
Will only order my copy now! B
