"""Edesons writing has a rhythm all its own that is unlike other mystery stories and thrillers, and has to do with the ease and confidence with which he can take the reader from the familiar directly into a little bit of Worseworld. And it is with great glee that we often hear ourselves saying, Surely he made that bit up, didnt he? Didnt he? It all makes for a joyful ride, lots of smiles and frequent checking of dictionaries and other references."" -- Australian Book Review "" intelligently crafted Bad To Worse provides readers with an intellectual workout, and deserves to be savoured."" -- West Australian "" a book for intelligent, urbane readers with a sense of humour."" -- Good Reading Magazine ""The array of scientific discussions and references are beautifully accompanied by a healthy dose of poetry and philosophy. As the characters pursue their various goals, questions of truth and humanity abound there is plenty of humour to light the way, sometimes sarcastic and sometimes dark, but always intelligent."" -- Underground Writers "" uniquely clever prose with a touch of intrigue and adventure."" -- Maureen Eppen"
