A leech, a pirate, a predator, an anti-Christ, a public benefactor and  the fisherman's friend; such is Gillespie Strang in this remarkably  powerful Scottish novel. Gillespie is the harsh prophet of the new breed  of Scottish entrepreneur, prepared to use any means to achieve his  insatiable ambition amongst the nineteenth-century fishing communities  of the west coast.John MacDougall Hay (1881-1919) was born and raised in Tarbert, Loch Fyne, on which he based the setting for Gillespie.  A Church of Scotland minister, his knowledge of such communities and  his sombre vision of good and evil shape this, his finest novel.

<p>Labyrinth 1 is an intricate structure of intercommunicating passages, through which it is difficult to find one's way without a clue; a maze. They have never met, they have been assigned strange pseudonyms, they inhabit identical rooms, which open out onto very different landscapes, and they have entered into a dialogue, which they cannot escape - a discourse defined and destroyed by the "Helmet of Horror". Its wearer is the dominant force they call Asterisk, a force for good and ill in which the Minotaur is forever present and Theseus is the great unknown. Victor Pelevin has created a mesmerising world where the surreal and the hyperreal collide. "The Helmet of Horror" is structured according to the Internet exchanges of the twenty-first century, yet instilled with the figures and narratives of classical mythology. It is a labyrinthine examination of epistemological uncertainty that radically reinvents the myth of Theseus and the Minotaur for an age where information is abundant but knowledge is ultimately unattainable.</p>
