Returning to the extraordinarily-imagined subterranean world of Nupaleiron, John Meaney's new novel continues the story of Tom Corcorigan - the one-armed revolutionary, peace-maker and holder of the key to understanding the true nature and significance of mu-space. The concluding pages of Paradox found Tom forcing the two warring factions to recognise the destructiveness of their two opposing paths. Physically, emotionally and spiritually drained - all Tom craves is to be able to return to the simplicity of the life he'd found in the lower strata. But Tom is now a legend, and when unforseen forces threaten to shatter Nulapeiron's fragile peace, it is time for legends to be reborn...John Meaney burst on to the SF scene with his ground-breaking debut novel TO HOLD INFINITY. With PARADOX, he more than fulfilled that promise. Now with this thrilling sequel to that daring and complex second book, he confirms his place at the very forefront of science fiction in the 21st century.

About the Author:

John Meaney is a black belt in Shotokan karate and works in IT. His first novel, TO HOLD INFINITY, was published by Bantam in 1998 to sensational reviews and was shortlisted for the BSFA Award. His second novel is PARADOX.

From Publishers Weekly:

Replete with thought-provoking ruminations on the nature of space and time, Meaney's second Nulapeiron book (after Paradox) follows Tom Corcorigan as the logosopher and one-armed warrior, now a lord, seeks an antidote for the femtocyte toxins that are slowly killing him. Tom and his chief of security and future inamorata, Capt. Elva Strelsthorm, meet with the mysterious Seer, whose projected visions force Elva to download her personality (and the Seer's all-important information) to a twin sister. Aided by a vision from the Seer, Tom determines to recover Elva in a single-minded quest that's threatened by the invasion of the vicious, alien Dark Fire. While readers may find the personal stories of the characters more accessible than the almost overly detailed realm of Nulapeiron, they should enjoy the exquisite world building of this ambitious SF epic.
