SF fans and skeptics alike are advised to head towards this Light.” - Independent Light depicts its author as a wit, an awesomely fluent and versatile prose stylist, and an SF thinker as dedicated to probing beneath surfaces as William Gibson is to describing how the world looks when reflected in them. “An increasingly complex and dazzling narrative. It is a work of-and about-the highest order.” - Guardian This is a novel of full spectrum literary dominance. “Uproarious, breath-taking, exhilarating. Haunting them all through this maze of menace and mystery is the shadowy presence of the Shrander-and three enigmatic clues left on the barren surface of an asteroid under an ocean of light known as the Kefahuchi Tract: a deserted spaceship, a pair of bone dice, and a human skeleton. Once crazy for life, he’s now just a twink on New Venusport, addicted to the bizarre alternate realities found in the tanks-and in debt to all the wrong people. He “went deep”-and lived to tell about it. In this future, Ed Chianese, a drifter and adventurer, has ridden dynaflow ships, run old alien mazes, surfed stellar envelopes. But the “inhuman” K-ship captain has gone rogue, pirating the galaxy while playing cat and mouse with the authorities who made her what she is.

In this future, Seria Mau Genlicher has already sacrificed her body to merge into the systems of her starship, the White Cat. He is seeking escape in a future that doesn’t yet exist-a quantum world that he and his physicist partner hope to access through a breach of time and space itself. In contemporary London, Michael Kearney is a serial killer on the run from the entity that drives him to kill. John Harrison’s dangerously illuminating new novel, three quantum outlaws face a universe of their own creation, a universe where you make up the rules as you go along and break them just as fast, where there’s only one thing more mysterious than darkness.
