Description

THEOREM: Petrovitch has a lot of secrets.

PROOF: Secrets like how to make anti-gravity for one. For another, he's

keeping a sentient computer program on a secret server farm - the same

program that nearly destroyed the Metrozone a few months back.

THEOREM: The city is broken.

PROOF: The people of the OutZone want what citizens of the Metrozone

have. And then burn it to the ground. Now, with the heart of the city

destroyed by the New Machine Jihad, the Outies finally see their chance.

THEOREM: These events are not unconnected.

PROOF: Someone is trying to kill Petrovitch and they're willing to sink

the whole city to do it.

Reviews

This is a series not to be missed, and as I've had a chance to read the other two books, I can promise you that it's only going to get better - SFREVU

A soaring narrative - SCIFINOW

This second outing is just as exciting and downright entertaining as the first and is one you too should consider putting on your To-read lists - LEC BOOK REVIEWS

Author Bio

Dr Simon Morden is a bona fide rocket scientist, having degrees in geology and planetary geophysics, and is one of the few people who can truthfully claim to have held a chunk of Mars in his hands. Simon Morden lives in Gateshead with a fierce lawyer, two unruly children and a couple of miniature panthers.
