About the Book
After the events of THE MONSTROUS REGIMENT, Corinna Trotgarden, her
family and friends, have travelled away from the hated city of Silven
Crescent, north to an uninhabited area which they have named
'Freespace'. To her intense irritation, Corinna is treated by the
community as one of its leaders.
Unbeknownst to the Freespacers,
Artemis has been in contact with the outside world for the first time
in many years, and an interstellar tour company has sent a
representative, Zy Larrigan, to check the planet out. Larrigan's flyer
begins to behave strangely as he moves farther away from Silven
Crescent, and strange events occur in Freespace which lead Corinna and
others to recall tales of the mysterious Greylids – Artemis' indigenous
population, reduced almost to the status of myth – and put the
existence of Freespace into peril.
Storm Constantine has written
another darkly brilliant novel which will add to her ever-growing
reputation as one of the most original science fiction writers in the
world.
