The Bleakwarrior of the title is a meta-warrior - a 'physical expression of natural states that serve no purpose beyond their immediate function.' a wandering masterless killer seeking his purpose. Each dense chapter is stuffed full of memorable characters (all the meta-warrirors are great, it's a real shame when some of them kill others because some deserve larger parts) and along the way he is helped or hindered (mostly hindered) by others of his kind.
This is foot to the metal, balls-out, foaming at the mouth prose and yet at the same time lush dense verbiage that deserves to be fondled and savoured. How Rennie achieves such a dichotomy is beyond me. This is not for the squeamish or prudish - there is much gratuitous violence and even more gratuitous sex. It is also a book that you need to put your brain in another gear before reading - but what a pleasure it is once you are on the same plane.
This is like Hunt Emerson meets Gormenghast. Very much in the weird and very much a book that defies quick review.
So please make your way to the nearest convenient source of books and purchase a copy
If you are still not convinced read this great review which does it more justice than I ever could.
Overall - Highly recommended but treat with approrpiate care, it's not an easy book but it is a good one… (plus d'informations)
