Combining William Gibson's mistrust of consumerism with Philip K. Dick's ability to twist reality through ninety degrees, DOUBLE VISION is the stunning new novel from the Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author of MAUL.
When shy, psychic bookworm 'Cookie' Orbach watches television, she sees things. But not the things that you or I would see. Cookie sees The Grid - a strange, shifting landscape where human forces battle against an enemy they dare not kill. Her employer, the mysterious Dataplex Corporation, pays her well to watch this war, and asks only that she report her observations but take no direct action, which suits her passive demeanour just fine.
But Cookie's quiet life is about to be shattered. Her two very different worlds are threatening to merge in a way that shouldn't really be possible. Everything is about to change. And we do mean everything ...

'Sullivan’s writing is flawlessly convincing and Double Vision must count as a leading example of a new style of postmodern multicultural science fiction.'
Brigid Cherry, Dreamwatch
Finely honed character interactions, wryly amusing dialogue and plenty of wildly imaginative scenes ensure that Double Vision offers more of the stylish creativity that we have come to expect from Sullivan since her memorable debut 10 years ago with Lethe...a terrific page turner.

Tricia Sullivan produces intricate and beautifully written hardcore feminist SF that makes no compromise with her readers or the market; this makes her a precious commodity.
