A brand new SF series from the author of the Pantheon series, which
included the break-out hits Age and Ra, Age of Zeus and Age of Odin. Dev Harmer wakes in a new body with every mission, and he has woken this
time on Alighieri, a planet perpetually in flames, where the world's
wealth lies below the elemental surface, and humanity is not the only
race after it.
Dev Harmer, reluctant agent of Interstellar Security Solutions, wakes up in a newly cloned host body on the planet Alighieri, ready for action.
It’s an infernal world, so close to its sun that it surface is
regularly baked to 1,000°C, hot enough to turn rock to lava. But deep
underground there are networks of tunnels connecting colonies of miners
who dig for the precious helium-3 regolith deposits in Alighieri’s
crust.
Polis+, the AI race who are humankind’s great galactic
rivals, want to claim the fiery planet’s mineral wealth for their own.
All that stands between them and this goal is Dev. But as well as
Polis+’s agents, there are giant moleworms to contend with, and a spate
of mysterious earthquakes, and the perils of the surface where a man can be burned to cinders if he gets caught unprotected on the day side...
