Synopsis

We tell stories to hold on to what has been loved and lost. To sustain memory. To create new myths . . . An aid-worker is betrayed while helping thousands escape a massacre. A secretive businessman wages clandestine war against a ruthless energy cartel. An air convoy – its illicit cargo destined for hostile militants – vanishes over the Sahara. Meanwhile, as millions fleeing famine, genocide and environmental collapse seek refuge across the Mediterranean, their genii begin to intrude into reality. And deep within the desert something precious and terrible has been lost – something which could overwhelm them all . . . Thrilling and unnervingly prescient, this daring novel of where our future may take us fulfils all the promise of Gavin Chait’s acclaimed debut, Lament for the Fallen: ‘Exhilarating . . . a compulsively readable, life-affirming tale told in direct, lambent prose.’ GUARDIAN ‘Lyrical prose and imaginative world-building . . . an ambitious and intelligent work.’ SFX ‘Often poetic, occasionally disturbing and always enthralling . . . one of the best sci-fi books of 2016.’ CULTUREFLY ‘Highly readable . . . smart, ideas-led science fiction.’ STARBURST
