Description:
Sheila MacLeod’s new novel, like her last, should not be confused with science fiction; it is fiction which uses a sci-fi platform as a launching-point from which to explore inner rather than outer space – with remarkable results.
Baird, Devitt and Haskins are presented to us as three astronauts in orbit in a capsule. When something goes wrong with their spacecraft, there seems to be only one hope of return for the three of them, by this time not the best of comrades. Baird, an ex-science fiction writer who is blessed with peculiar powers of autokinesis and telepathy, is told by the head of Mission Control, Dr. Lvov, o exert his powers to return to earth and enlist telepathic help to effect the rescue of the other two.
Barid ‘comes down to earth’ in more than one sense. He visits Miriam, his partner in what has become a extremely tenuous marriage; Devitt’s parents, an extremely puzzling couple; and Haskins’ unexpectedly attractive wife, Jolene. During their absence the astronauts have not been forgotten, but their relationships with their nearest, if not always their dearest, prove different from Baird’s expectations, especially in the case of his own wife. His mission turns out to be painfully disturbing-and enlightening.
Within its framework of fantasy Circuit-Breaker deals, with deep, ironic understanding, with the nature of human attachments, particularly the marital one, with pride and the fear of failure, and with the problem of authority, personified by the irritatingly sage and powerful Dr. Lovov.
Circuit-Breaker is highly original, intelligent and readable-an exciting and rare combination.
