THE RIG

^{ROGER LEVY}

Humanity has spread across the depths of space but is connected by AfterLife – a vote made by every member of humanity on the worth of a life. Bale, a disillusioned policeman on the planet Bleak, is brutally attacked, leading writer Raisa on to a story spanning centuries of corruption. On Gehenna, the last religious planet, a hyperintelligent boy, Alef, meets psychopath Pellon Hoq, and so begins a rivalry and friendship to last an epoch.

So many Lives, forever interlinked, and one structure at the center of it all: the rig.

“A triumph that is guaranteed to blow your mind.”

Lavie Tidhar, author of A Man Lies Dreaming

“Roger Levy is SF’s best kept secret, and The Rig is a tour de force: a darkly brilliant epic of life, death and huge drilling platforms. Read it and discover what you’ve been missing.”

Adam Roberts

EMBERS OF WAR

^{GARETH L. POWELL}

The sentient warship Trouble Dog was built for violence, yet following a brutal war, she is disgusted by her role in a genocide. Stripped of her weaponry and seeking to atone, she joins the House of Reclamation, an organization dedicated to rescuing ships in distress. When a civilian ship goes missing in a disputed system, Trouble Dog and her new crew of loners, captained by Sal Konstanz, are sent on a rescue mission.

Trouble Dog, Konstanz and Childe find themselves at the center of a conflict that could engulf the entire galaxy. If she is to save her crew, Trouble Dog is going to have to remember how to fight…

“It’s a smart, funny, tragic, galloping space opera that showcases Powell’s wit, affection for his characters, world-building skills and unpredictable narrative inventions.”

Locus

“An emotionally wrenching take on life in a war-torn far future.”

Publishers Weekly

ZERO BOMB

^{M.T. HILL}

The near future. Following the death of his daughter Martha, Remi flees the north of England for London. Here he tries to rebuild his life as a cycle courier, delivering subversive documents under the nose of an all-seeing state.

But when a driverless car attempts to run him over, Remi soon discovers that his old life will not let him move on so easily. Someone is leaving coded messages for Remi across the city, and they seem to suggest that Martha is not dead at all. Unsure what to believe, and increasingly unable to trust his memory, Remi is slowly drawn into the web of a dangerous radical whose ’70s sci-fi novel is now a manifesto for direct action against automation, technology, and England itself.

The deal? Remi can see Martha again – if he joins the cause.

“One of the most innovative and outspoken new writers of British science fiction.”

Nina Allan, author of The Rift

“Intense and well observed, Zero Bomb delves into our fears and distrust of technology.”

Anne Charnock, author of Dreams Before the Start of Time
