Description

A fast-moving, filmic and violent SF thriller, perfect for fans of Jack Campbell. A meeting of The Road and Rogue Trooper.

'My nanotech is dead. By definition I am no longer Ficial. On the other hand I don't experience your emotions. That makes me inhuman. Like I said: neither one nor the other.'

Caught in a world that is too busy destroying itself to care for anything except how to exploit the weak, Kenstibec is the ultimate outsider: he used to be invulnerable but now he's just a killer with no-one to kill for.

But when the old world is ending everyone needs a reason to live, someone to live for. Kenstibec is on a

quest. A quest that will take him across a freezing ocean and into the cold heart of a new world order.

Reviews

Jon Wallace keeps the pace up, delivering intense set-pieces alongside plenty of twisted humour and bone-crunching violence (STEEPLE review) - SFX

The action is tense, the violence is gruesome but compelling and the science fiction engaging. (STEEPLE review) - The Sun

The end of civilisation has seldom been such gruesome fun (BARRICADE review) - The Financial Times

A bona fide barnstormer of a book . . . Wallace's novel is fun from word one, packed with impactful action, and augmented by a brilliantly British - which is to say wicked - sense of humour (BARRICADE review) - Tor.com
