Reader Reviews:
"Devolution, by D.A.Cairns is an amazing novel with a multitude of layers. The characters are deep and well structured, and the storyline is fresh and original. This book is a must read for anyone who enjoys a fresh, contemporary piece of literature". - Rhiannon Icasuriaga
I must admit I’m not a great fan of science fiction. But I did enjoy reading D.A.Cairns' book ‘Devolution’. As a disabled person I liked the idea of a ‘hovercraft’ type wheel chair that speeds around faster than humans. The story of three friends Ted, Veena, and Joshua trying to discover who killed the ‘senators’, Ted's and Veena's fathers, was interesting and exciting. The fact that much of the story is set in Australia and the city of Sydney also made the book more appealing. In all a great read, very enjoyable."
