In this twisty and action-packed adventure from the BSFA award-winning author of Descendant Machine and Future’s Edge, a crew of bounty hunters find themselves ensnared in a conspiracy on the very fringes of the devastated solar system. Perfect for fans of James S. A. Corey and Adrian Tchaikovsky.

“On Earth, they depicted justice as blindfolded and impartial, but out here on the frontier, she was red in tooth and claw.”

Jupiter and Saturn are gone, and a mysterious force has built a huge habitable sphere from their ashes. When criminals try to lose themselves on this new frontier, bounty hunters like Copernicus Brown and the crew of his sentient ship Jitterbug get paid to hunt them down. But when Brown rescues Amber Roth, sole survivor of a pirate attack, the Jitterbug and her crew find themselves the target of powerful political factions who want control of the data chip hidden in Roth’s stomach.

And all the while, something vast and ancient creeps towards them from the depths of space…©2026 Gareth L. Powell (P)2026 W. F. Howes Ltd Adventure Humorous Post-Apocalyptic Science Fiction Space Exploration Solar System

Sorry Gareth, I have enjoyed all your books so far, but the audio reading was very jarring. Spoilt it for me

Good story let down by Narrators
