Summary
A smart sci-fi epic interwoven with political intrigue; set on a dystopian world ravaged by a time-plague where a brutal murder will start a civil war.
Perfect for fans of Dune, A Memory Called Empire, and Ninefox Gambit.
During their temporary research post on Apech—a planet ravaged by a time distorting illness—Wilhelmina Ming and four other elite students of the Crysthian empire have witnessed such illogical brutality that they’ve resorted to psychedelic antidepressants and group sex to take the edge off. After a night of indulgence following a gruesome execution, they wake to find an oblique warning in the form of an impaled corpse dangling from the exterior of their residence.
When their subsequent investigation uncovers a web of collusion and conspiracy in the ranks of their own diplomatic corps, the envoys find themselves caught in the middle of a bloody civil war. As bodies pile up above ground, a deranged fanatic stokes an existential threat below, coaxing the embers of a forgotten god, and its temporal virus, to life.
File under: Science fiction. Timing is all. Amateur heroics. Body of God. Birdsong.

Bloody loved this new style of writing
It’s nice to hear something different, at first I was confused but then I realised I was supposed to be and it all fell into place, a beautiful, funny, but serious book, a great new author. I can’t wait to see what happens next…

Original Tale, Excellent Performance
Draws you into a strange and fascinating world with highly original writing. At turns gory, intriguing, horrifying and funny. There’s little else like this. A great performance brings the characters and their interactions to life.
Hoping for another installment of this epic tale.
