Summary: Familiar motifs, original storytelling
Comment: Watson's recent novel is on the surface a bit more conventional sf story than his classic novels such as THE EMBEDDING and MIRACLE VISITORS. However, it is great fun and encompasses some adventurous story telling, involving Nazi plots, zombified drugged-out "Blissheads," and a dangerous quest to save Earth from evil aliens. This is done in the context of the author's usual incisive social analysis and realistic characterizations. What kind of salvation would it be, as in this book, if we depended upon an extraterrestrial race to come in and solve all our global political and ecological problems for us?
Rating: 5
Summary: One woman's determination to find the shocking truth
Comment: Mockymen is a science fiction saga by Ian Watson that stretches from the roots of Nazi atrocities to alien visitation in the year 2010, and which seems to promote cooperation between species on the surface -- yet has more sinister implications, such as the introduction of the drug Bliss (a chemical that renders a tiny percentage of its users stupefied zombies that the aliens can use as puppet bodies). It's one woman's determination to find the shocking truth behind the aliens that leads to an odyssey of murder and intrigue in this involving, original, and very highly recommended science fiction thriller.
