Omega returns the adult reader to the world of childhood imagination: a world populated by the fantastic, the fabulous and the thoroughly improbable. But a world where adult concerns of poverty, injustice, prejudice, politics and economics are all too real. In this world, the reader is taken on a search for the Truth in a more literal sense than one would expect. On the way, the reader meets characters familiar to childhood who confront this question with different formulations and very different solutions.Independent Reviews:Absolutely outstanding and complex fable which stands comparison wit...

Independent Reviews:
Absolutely outstanding and complex fable which stands comparison with Jonathan Swift. Our traveller meets religious absurdism head on. Highly recommended.
A very superior fantasy this, set in a world full of different pockets of existence distinguished by species or class or faith. As a result, it's layered and complex, and whilst slow moving it's refreshingly unpredictable. The humour and targets are, I suppose, British, but there's a general appeal. Don't miss it is my recommendation.

I enjoyed reading this imaginative piece, which says a lot, because I confess I am not a fan of science fiction and my tastes are very limited with respect to what I'll read in the fantasy genre. I think it reads very smoothly and holds the reader's interest.

I confess that I might have been put off by giant, talking grasshoppers had they appeared in a first chapter. That's a prejudice of mine, I think. It doesn't apply here though. In the first place it's so charmingly and well written. In the second place it suits your purpose very well (or you make it do so): a vehicle for commentary on social, political, religious, scientific and aesthetic issues. (Have I left anything out? It is a very broad canvass you've chosen.)
The fantasy goes deeper than this, of course. The Cartesian and Newtonian divisions of the Church, for example, are intriguing, suggestive, actually quite plausible.
I was rather taken with the quest. An excellent read.
