The Skellig
THE SKELLIG
Ly de Angeles & Melaine Knight
The year is 2156. Dystopia. Misrule. Pirates, badlands, transdrones, cowboys, rebellion.
THE SKELLIG is a story of hope and redemption where hard tech and stainless steel meet legend and myth.
The skellig’s name is Gamble. She’s all woman. Most of the time. On the black of the moon she’s another creature altogether, a praying mantis. A deal she made, with the soul of earth known as the Grace, a few thousand years ago. Sometimes, over a couple of days, she’s a bit of both.
A desperate escape north is the only hope for thousands of runaways. Guided by an indigenous and immortal starman, the shapeshifting skellig, a Maori mystic named Mukata and Terrence, a scientist who should be the enemy but is not, they make the journey.
Bull and Rattlesnake Lil drive the Airstream, called the Midnight Express, packed to the rafters with escapees and hybrids. Alice, in his armored all-terrain tank, raises his rainbow pennant on a fifteen-foot high middle-finger to the drone-swarms overhead. A militarized force, not far behind, is intent on annhialation. Freedom is beyond the northern border, a mighty, raging river, guarded by a mythic race called Álfur. It is live free or die.
