'He is writing revolutionary science fiction. A nova has appeared in our sky.' - Kim Stanley Robinson
'Engaged, ingenious, and wittily partisan, Ken MacLeod is a one-man revolution, SF's Billy Bragg' - ASIMOV'S SF
In a newer world order where the peace process is deadlier than the wars ...

Jordan Brown is a teenage atheist with a guilty conscience, a wad of illicit cash and an urgent need to get a life.
Between them they've started the countdown to the final confrontation, as the cryptic Star Fraction assembles its codes, the Army of the New Republic prepares its offensive and Space Defence lines up its laser weapons for the hour of the Watchmaker ...
The debut novel from a major force in SF, the first of his novels to be shortlisted for the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
