'After inheriting a less-than-glorious empire within the Tert, Parrish Plessis–coup leader, bodyguard, and overall dangerous vixen–has her hands full, and her head even fuller. She's still under a blood debt to the Cabal Coomera. She's trying to take care of the growing population of stray social castoffs who have come to her for protection. And the nasty high-tech parasite her treacherous ex-lover hit her with is about to turn her into something much less than human...'

Works about this Work

The End of the Human : Apocalypse, Cyberpunk, and the Parrish Plessis Novels Roslyn Weaver , 2011 single work criticism
— Appears in: Apocalypse in Australian Fiction and Film : A Critical Study 2011; (p. 159-185) This discussion 'offers a brief summary of cyberpunk globally and in Australia and then, within the framework of Australian apocalypse outlined so far in this book, examines Marianne de Pierres's Parrish Plessis novels to determine one approach to the sense of location and apocalypse in Australian cyber narratives. De Pierres sets her novels in a future Australia but describes a mixed cultural and linguistic environment that appears to constitute a generic global space. Yet her representation of the hostile and harsh landscape indicates specifically Australian themes. De Pierres's use of eschatological motifs as well as the textual anxieties about posthumanism and the end of authenticity also belie cyberpunk's indifference to apocalypse.' (159-160)
