Edge of Heaven

Shortlisted for the Arthur C Clarke Award and the ESFS Award for Best Written Work of Fiction.

2119: The bi-level city of Creo towers over the wastelands of central France. In the dark, honeycomb districts of the lower city, Boston Turrow searches for black market meds for his little sister, while Danae Grant harbours a dangerous secret that could cost her life. When a deadly plague forces the city into lockdown, they find themselves thrown together by a powerful connection that neither was expecting. But as Creo Basse faces growing unrest and martial law, Danae must make a terrible decision: stay hidden and survive, or risk it all to save Turrow’s life?

On the Brink

Sequel to the Clarke Award-shortlisted Edge of Heaven.

Luchtstad: the city in the sky. Beacon of hope. Place of refuge, of healing, of acceptance. At least, that’s what the rumours say.

Reborn as Françoise Marechal, Danae Grant is trying to build a new life as a post-etheric citizen and to disappear back into the cracks. Adam has been following a cold trail for the better part of three decades, ever since the love of his life was killed in the horrors that ended the a-naut Insurgency. The truth, when it finds them, is something neither one of them could have guessed.
