Sobre este artículo
Jonathan Cape Ltd, 2006. Hardcover. Fine. 1ST EDITION, 1ST PRINT, SIGNED & DATED (3/8/06) BY AUTHOR TO TITLE PAGE. Book as new, unread, FINE/FINE condition. Scifantastic, 18th July 2006: 'Fresh and beautiful . . . Take your time reading it . . . It puts you in that reading bubble, ever sought, not often found' From the Publisher An astonishing first novel set in a world where 99 per cent of the population are werewolves. Synopsis Biology is destiny. For those born feet-first, life is normal. Civil rights are enshrined in law, the world is a comfortable place, and every full moon night, you lock yourself in a secure room to fur up in peace. But for those born head-first, the damage done is more than just physical. For a non, locked in his or her human skin, is first and foremost a conscript, drafted at eighteen into DORLA, the Department for the Ongoing Regulation of Lycanthropic Activity. For a DORLA agent, insultingly referred to as a 'bareback', full moon creates a battle zone, where they patrol the silent night in search of citizens breaking the curfew. The rest of the month is a civil service nightmare, mopping up the after-effects of the trespasses, the fights and the maulings. DORLA has lasted centuries, since the Inquisition first set it up, and it's no less hated now than it was then. Lola Galley, twenty-eight and already a scarred veteran, is assigned to defend a curfew-breaker who mutilated a good friend of hers. She doesn't want the case, but she's used to doing things she doesn't want. Only something happens: her maimed friend is murdered before her client can be tried. Lola wants justice. She'll settle for the truth. But in a divided world, asking for the truth may bring answers that you don't want to hear. Kit Whitfield has created a world that is wholly, unnervingly convincing. "Bareback" shows her to be a novelist of rare gifts and astonishing imagination.
