In this high-octane sequel to last year’s The Electric Church, humanity is careering towards extinction and Avery Cates, the ‘Criminal King’ of New York, finds he will either be the executioner or saviour of the whole world. As the author’s UK editor Bella Pagan explains: “Jeff is a fiercely talented author, who writes a distinctive fusion of near-future SF and noirish thriller. The Digital Plague is a high-action triumph, set in a dingy and dystopian New York littered with strange tech and Orwellian System Police. His anti-hero provides a suitably deadpan commentary on his life and times – when he's not dealing death or escaping execution that is!”

The third and concluding volume of ‘A Time Odyssey’ brings us classic SF adventure from two of the biggest names in the genre. A heady combination of high concept SF, big engineering projects and human drama, in an epic tale of altered histories and different Earths. Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter scale new heights of ambition and sheer story telling brio in what will presumably be the last ever release of original fiction to bear Sir Arthur’s name.
