Crashing Heaven

A
diamond-hard, visionary new SF thriller. Nailed-down cyberpunk ala
William Gibson for the 21st century meets the vivid dark futures of Al
Reynolds in this extraordinary debut novel.

With Earth abandoned,
humanity resides on Station, an industrialised asteroid run by the
sentient corporations of the Pantheon. Under their leadership a war has
been raging against the Totality - ex-Pantheon AIs gone rogue.

With
the war over, Jack Forster and his sidekick Hugo Fist, a virtual
ventriloquist's dummy tied to Jack's mind and created to destroy the
Totality, have returned home.
Labelled a traitor for surrendering to
the Totality, all Jack wants is to clear his name but when he discovers
two old friends have died under suspicious circumstances he also wants
answers. Soon he and Fist are embroiled in a conspiracy that threatens
not only their future but all of humanity's. But with Fist's software
licence about to expire, taking Jack's life with it, can they bring down
the real traitors before their time runs out?
