Synopsis
WORLD OF WATER! Dev Harmer, reluctant agent of Interstellar Security Solutions, has travelled to ocean-world Robinson D, nicknamed Triton. Here, settlements of the Terran Diaspora have been coming under attack by members of the planet’s native sub-aquatic race. ISS suspects the involvement of an agent provocateur working for humankind's galactic rivals, the artificial intelligence civilisation known as Polis+. As the violence escalates, Dev finds himself battling to restore order - but he has only seventy-two hours before his genetically engineered host form breaks down irreversibly. And all as an ancient god-beast rises from the depths to usher in a long foretold apocalypse... ‘Possibly Lovegrove’s best yet... Once again James Lovegrove has subverted and exceeded expectations.’ SF Signal on Age of Shiva “The story zooms along at a rip-roaring pace, told in an irreverent tone that perfectly matches the character of our hero. Planet Alighieri is rendered in such believable detail that I almost got a sweat on when Harmer got into trouble on the surface. Lovegrove has got things off to a brilliant start here.” – SF Crow’s Nest on World of Fire “I read this on holiday and it was perfect for kicking back, a throwback to the likes of Dumarest and James Bond. ****” – Theaker’s Quarterly on World of Fire
