The Fifth Head of Cerberus
"A Story" By John V Marsch
These are the first two books of a trilogy with the last one I'm reading now called V.R.T. Its an old sci-fi story that a mate (redpill) got me for christmas, it is actually quite good though between all three books the writing/storytelling style changes completly so that was a bit weird. The are all by Gene Wolf btw if you were wondering (Yes eventhough the second one says its byt someone else, that person is actually a character from the books)
As I said took a bit to get used to them but once I did it was good, the way he describes everything though in the first book gave me the impression of a really old port town somewhere. It made it slightly harder to imagine it (Well I found) because it was sci-fi and on a different planet which they had moved to, I did get over that eventually and when I had gotten the writing style fully understood...that book ended and it all changed!
I will say however that they are good and unfortunatly I will have finished them too soon.
