'AN EXCEPTIONAL BLEND OF INTERNATIONAL POLITICS, HARD SCIENCE, AND
FIRST CONTACT' Michael Mammay, author of the Planetside series
'MACLEOD'S BEST BOOK TO DATE' SFX Science fiction legend Ken
MacLeod begins a new space opera trilogy by imagining humankind on
the precipice of discovery - the invention of faster-than-light
travel unlocks a universe of new possibilities, and new dangers.
When a brilliant scientist gets a letter from herself about
faster-than-light travel, she doesn't know what to believe. The
equations work, but her paper is discredited - and soon the
criticism is more than scientific. Exiled by the establishment, she
gets an offer to build her starship from an unlikely source. But in
the heights of Venus and on a planet of another star, a secret is
already being uncovered that will shake humanity to its
foundations. Discover this ground-breaking new space opera from
