This writer comes to us via Darby Dixon, who says: "(Noon) had a bit of a hit with Vurt, a high-energy story of twisted virtual reality, dance music, broken glass, droidlocks, and brightly colored dream-feathers . . . (H)is most recent novel, Falling Out Of Cars, was never published in America, which is a damn shame, because it is a fantastic turn by Noon: he takes the bold strokes of his Vurt series and his ever-present concern with reality-gone-askew and weds it to a darker tale, a road narrative set in an England where mirrors are forbidden because everybody's losing their grip on who they are and what's what around them. You just might argue it's his best book yet."
