Land of the Headless
Adam RobertsMedium Paperback
Land of the Headless is set in a far future where mankind has taken his religious dogma and the divisions that result from it out into space.On a planet where society is shaped by a strict adherence to the word of God as laid out in the Old Testament and Quran a poet is accused of the rape of a woman.
Found guilty he must face the punishment laid down in the Good Book: beheading. Beheaded, he is fitted with a neck valve, ordinator and basic sensory equipment and sent out into the world. But he bears a terrible and very visible stigma. The only way he can make a living is to join the army and serve in the war against the neighboring planet. And plan his revenge against the man he believes is really guilty...
