Synopsis
When a boat is shipwrecked on the shores of Tierra del Fuego, rumours abound that it has come from 'the lost city' of Osiris.
For Taeo, a young political exile, the rediscovery of the long-lost island could serve as his lifeline. He must contact the Antarctican spy network - who has long disbelieved the city's demise - if he has any hope of returning to his family.
In his self-set mission, he befriends Vikram, the sole survivor of the wreckage, and enlists the help of Ramona, a pilot and cartographer.
But Taeo must act fast. For in the wrong hands, the news of Osiris will cause the return of a long and perilous war.this time more terrifying than ever.

Review
"Swift has produced another beautifully-written novel." -- Civilian Reader "Cataveiro has a soulful, lonely quality as Taeo and Ramona embark on their missions, haunted by memories of the past and visions of what lies ahead ... an intriguing world to get lost in." SciFi Now "A fantastic blend of worldbuilding, excellent storytelling and complex characters." -- John DeNardo SF Signal "Swift's first novel, with its brilliant near-future vision of an ecologically and socially devastated world and characters who resonate with life and passion, marks her as an author to watch." -- Jackie Cassada Library Journal "A glittering first novel: a kind of flooded Gormenghast treated with the alienated polish of DeLillo's Cosmopolis. The result is a gripping novel, readable, beautiful, politically engaged and wholly accomplished. Swift is a ridiculously talented writer." Adam Roberts
