Résumé

The air of Manchester is alive with blurbvurts, automated advertisements chanting their slogans. But the loudest of all is for Domino Bones, the new lottery game. Every Friday night the winning numbers are illuminated on the body of Lady Luck, the voluptuous figurehead of the game. For the winner, it is unimaginable riches, for the losers another week to wait for the bones to fall again. But there is only one real winner, The Company, which plays the city's fragile expectations with callous ease.
A group of mathematics students are looking at the mind-numbing probabilities involved and searching for the hidden mysteries behind the game. But what they find are more sinister realities: The Company has developed the nymphomation, and has the power to devour the city's dreams..."An imaginative and linguistic tour de force" Independent"Elegant, inventive and funny" SFX"From start to finish, it burns with energy, pouring out a maniacal waterfall of phrases onto the reader while retaining a tight and disturbing structure.
.. This is a book which leaves you breathless." Area 51
