Aleph

After the events of THE MONSTROUS REGIMENT, Corinna Trotgarden, her family and friends, have travelled away from the hated city of Silven Crescent, north to an uninhabited area which they have named 'Freespace'. To her intense irritation, Corinna is treated by the community as one of its leaders.

Unbeknownst to the Freespacers, Artemis has been in contact with the outside world for the first time in many years, and an interstellar tour company has sent a representative, Zy Larrigan, to check the planet out. Larrigan's flyer begins to behave strangely as he moves farther away from Silven Crescent, and strange events occur in Freespace which lead Corinna and others to recall tales of the mysterious Greylids – Artemis' indigenous population, reduced almost to the status of myth – and put the existence of Freespace into peril.

Storm Constantine has written another darkly brilliant novel which will add to her ever-growing reputation as one of the most original science fiction writers in the world.
