Brian Aldiss has written a subtle and compelling story about Siamese twin boys with a third dormant head,who grow up on a stretch of untamed Norfolk coastline,wild and resentful of their state.They become rock stars and their demon energy and freakish attraction ensures them brief superstardom.But with success the insurmountable stresses in their own relationship result in terrible struggles and jealousies over the woman in their life. Throughout the turbulence of their last months the sinister third head makes increasing demands for it right to life. . . . . The artist,Ian Pollock,is a brilliant young graduate from the Royal College of Art.His luminous water-colours and vital drawings enhance and enlarge the story's originality and pathos.
