St Libra is a paradise for Earth’s mega-rich. Until the killing starts.In Newcastle, AD 2142, Detective Sidney Hurst attends a brutal murder scene. The victim is one of the wealthy North family’s clones, but the most disturbing aspect is how he died. Twenty years ago, another North clone billionaire and his household were slaughtered in the exact same manner, on the tropical planet of St Libra. So was Angela Tramelo wrongly convicted back then? She’d never wavered under interrogation – claiming she alone survived an alien attack.With St Libran bio-fuel now powering Earth’s economy, investigating this alien threat becomes top priority. A vast expedition is mounted via the planet’s Newcastle gateway – including Angela Tramelo, grudgingly released from prison. But the expedition is cut off, deep within St Libra’s rainforests. Then the bloodshed begins.‘A dénouement that is far more than just the resolution of a murder mystery’ Guardian‘Complex world-building, harrowing back-story and good payoffs’ Daily Telegraph ‘Exactly the kind of first-class storytelling I’ve come to expect from this author’ SFRevu
