Don't bother. Some sci fi crap where the entire novel is written specifically to define the 'world' and for no other reason. The main character who is a slime ball thief finds a metallic hair that holds information, so he believes. Then he finds a female doctor who also has had an experience with something like it. This unlikely pair go from one make believe comic-like place to another trying to decode it. That's the entire book.
Don't waste your time reading this because for all the chasing around, dead people and absolute stupidity they never find an answer to what's on the hair. So dumb.
This is like listening to someone's long, long boring dream. So people get surgery and are then called melds. Like they have extra arms or eyes built in etc. Now you have that information you don't need to read the book. Some cops are Melds and use the term "melds" as a derogatory term for other melds. How the fuck does that make any sense? About as much as the rest of the book. Here are new words you need to put up with: outown, lod, ampuscated, gentlewhen, airfalls, ident, subists. He incorporates other fairy tale words like: kindred, meted, quarry=victim, truborn, swart-breath. WTF?
The whole thing TO ME was childish, cartoonish and go take a nice long walk instead. I can't believe I read thru the entire boring piece of crap to have no ending. Book=beginning, middle, END. END=story wraps up loose ends and reader doesn't have to get another book to see what happens at the END. END=OVER. DONE. FINIS.
