Desolation Road

Ian McDonald

Set in the Martian town Desolation Road, this compelling science fiction novel centers on the lives of the eccentric inhabitants who bravely endure against the ROTECH bureaucracy and whose loves, hates, and intrigues build to a vivid climax. They include Dr. Alimantando, the town's founder and resident genius; the Babooshka, a barren grandmother who just wants her own child, albeit, grown in a fruit jar; Rajendra Das, mechanical hobo who has a mystical way with machines; and the Gallacelli brothers, identical triplets who fell in love with, and married, the same woman.
