A Wreath of Stars 

by

Bob ShawA Wreath of Stars (1976)
A novel by Bob Shaw

 
"Brilliant ... witty, frightening, and admiringly ambitious."
Martin Amis


"Staggeringly enjoyable... vivid characters, a well-realized African state, and a great deal of intellectually sustained suspense."
Brian Aldiss


"An exciting, cunningly devised novel... unputdownable, magnificently implausible... one of Shaw's most entertaining novels."
Ian Watson


Ironically, for Gilbert Snook who considered himself the human equivalent of a neutrino, a particle able to travel through the Earth without disturbing any other particle it all started with the panic that followed the sighting of the anti neutrino planet as it approached Earth. Earth was unaffected but Snook ended up in a small African Republic teaching English to diamond miners. Then the miners started seeing ghosts and Snook found himself at the centre of a bizarre and far reaching scientific discovery and in the middle of some very dirty political infighting.
