Book description
London in the early 1990s; supposedly the New Age Caring Nineties . But
the streets, it turns out, are not paved with gold, but covered with the
homeless living in leeping-bags and cardboard boxes, and often littered
with a far more dangerous form of flotsam. For Angel, the city divides
into several layers of underworlds and sub-cultures: callous crime and
corruption, the growing drug culture, the seedier side of the gay scene,
the young and homeless. There is also a more literal underworld where
the role-playing game of Dungeons and Dragons can shift from fantasy to
real violence at the flick of a wizard s wand & But most serious of
all is that Angel is down on his luck and flat broke. The situation is
critical. So critical, he might even have to get a job... London in
