The Dream Archipelago is a neutral zone in a world at war. The hundreds of islands, languishing in tropical seas, are a constant lure to young men on both sides of the conflict. In these interlinked stories, Christopher Priest explores war, relationships and forms of reality. A soldier comes to doubt that the right is on his side; a woman remembers more peaceful times in the archipelago; a man discovers the evil that women can do to each other. The tale becomes a tapestry in a manner reminiscent of Keith Robert's great novel Pavane , weaving reality together in ways which are never obvious. Over all looms the time vortex which makes this world so different from our own. Newly revised and added to by the author, and collected together in book form for the first time, The Dream Archipelago shows a writer at the height of his power.
