by A.E. Currie

The rogue state of ManX wants to rejoin WorldGov, but why have they kept themselves hidden since the Hot Summer? The secret they are about to reveal will threaten all Earth.

Meanwhile aboard WorldGov spaceship The Sun Tzu, Lee and Nemo are cut off from the Panopticon on the eight month voyage to Mars. Lee has been warned they are in danger, but from who? Why are a sinister technocult so interested in their mission? Most importantly, what happened to the last craft that left for the Red Planet - the ghost ship Bismarck?

About the author

Anne Currie has been an SF and Fantasy fan since she first saw Star Wars in 1977. She loves classic SF authors like Asimov, Van Vogt, Dick, Vonnegut, Heinlein, Herbert and, even, Doc Smith (his social views have dated, the others less so).

She studied Physics and interned on the Large Electron Positron collider at Cern in the 90's when the internet was first being invented. Since then, she has worked on all kinds of tech and startups.

These days she divides her time between London and North Essex and writes Science Fiction that really isn't that speculative.
