A book about two aliens coming to Earth to seek
David Bowie was always going to appeal to me. That it’s cover is a homage to ‘Low’
makes the deal sweeter. That said book is written by Richard Jobson, poet, filmmaker
and vocalist and lyricist of punk/new wave legends Skids is the cherry on top
of the trifle. It is a bit of a slow burner though I tore through the last
quarter of the book today on a couple of commuter level train journeys. The
story is presented in a no chapter mode and is well thought out and framed,
though lacking a little in originality when it comes to plot twists. After
finishing it though I can heartily say I enjoyed it, and if you’ve a passing
interest in Bowie, Sci-Fi or Skids or Jobbo then it’s well worth investigating.
