the uptight doctor (a crystallographer), the troubled sculptress, and the incandescently beautiful actress are haunted by a vanished character, the psychic and hallucinatory pilgrim John (a spectralized version of Syd Barrett, to whom the book is dedicated). In an old country house in Cornwall, the two women seduce the doctor physically (with a series of pornographic dance-rituals), while John's computer hypertexts of shamanic knowledge initiate him psychically. As his scepticism peels away he realises way too late that to find John, he has to go all the way. Paperback and film rights have already been sold to Mirabilis, The Risen is rumoured to contain the encoded proof of reincarnation.
