'Gripping and skilfully told, with an economy and freshness of
approach that is all Tade Thompson's own. The setting is
interstellar, but it feels as real, immediate and lethal as today's
headlines' Alastair Reynolds Arthur C. Clarke Award winner Tade
Thompson makes a triumphant return to science fiction with this
unforgettable vision of humanity's future in the chilling emptiness
of space. The colony ship Ragtime docks in the Lagos system, having
travelled light years from home to bring one thousand sleeping
souls to safety among the stars. Some of the sleepers, however,
will never wake - and a profound and sinister mystery unfolds
aboard the gigantic vessel. Its skeleton crew are forced to make
decisions that will have repercussions for all of humanity's
settlements - from the scheming politicians of Lagos station, to
the colony planet of Bloodroot, to other far flung systems and
indeed Earth itself. 'A gripping space opera with characters
fighting for their lives aboard a dying starship. I enjoyed it so
much and can't wait to see what Thompson does next' Martha Wells,
author of the Murderbot Diaries 'Simultaneously brutally grounded
and wildly imaginative' Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of Children of
Time 'Perfectly balances inspired universe building with both
high-octane action and emotional depth' Big Issue 'Readers looking
for a smart sci-fi mystery should snap this up' Publishers Weekly
'First-rate space opera from one of the genre's most exciting
voices' Gareth L. Powell 'Tade Thompson is a writer of enormous
heart and talent. Just brilliant' Dave Hutchinson
