"Literary SF at its best." - The Guardian Whoever the lambdas might
be, and wherever they really come from, they're already here among
us. Outwardly alien arrivals from a distant sea, the lambdas are
genetically human. They slip quietly into low- to middle-income
jobs and appear to want nothing more than to be left alone. For
Cara Gray, they are first a haunting presence in her otherwise
ordinary childhood, then the inscrutable target of her police
surveillance work. When a bomb goes off at a school, a nebulous
group of lambda extremists claims responsibility for the attack-but
how could a vulnerable community of tiny aquatic humans, barely
visible in society and seemingly indifferent to their own
exploitation, be capable of something so horrific? In Cara's world
a toothbrush can be legally alive, a quantum computer has the power
to decide who dies, and a government employee made of slime mould
protein needs help to relieve his neuroses. As Cara's relationship
with the lambdas deepens, she must decide whether to accept her
place in a pattern of technology, violence and deceit, or to take
action of her own.
