2071: FICTION IS INVADING REALITY...
(and not in a good way)
When professional hardass Lona Luminos takes a gentle working holiday, she’s not expecting to be haunted by an ancient, electronic evil. And she’s really not expecting murder.
Her job translating a set of ancient Celtic tales takes her deeper into the heart of the mystery. Everyone at creepy St Cadog’s College has dark secrets. Even Lona. And especially her synthetic pet wolf, Dodo.
Lona’s the Faith Police’s prime suspect – but will she be the next victim?
In a world of religion and surveillance, Lona and her friends must tread carefully in their quest to solve the crime, and prevent more mayhem.
Can they find the killer before something monstrous finds them?
Synthetic takes a darkly humorous look at religion and the magical quality of stories. A tense science fiction fantasy, it questions what it means to be human in an increasingly digital world.
You’ll love this dystopian sci-fi because everyone enjoys quirky humour and unruly stories.
Get it now.
